>I think the idea would be like what happened to Apple: they eventually grew so much, became so successful, accumulated huge piles of cash bigger than they could possibly spend, that they had to start paying a dividend. Not a great example, Apple paid out a quarterly dividend from 1987 to 1995. They paid out a dividend in those years because they were cashflow positive and that was just the thing you did because the idea of "hypergrowth" wasn't a thing.
