Oh, but it is! That value isn't locked up, it's invested in the company. That investment raises the level of capital available to the company, allowing them to hire more employees and offer more goods and services. That's all real value for real people, and yes, if it works out, capitalists get paid for making it possible.
We already live in a world where one can own the means of production. The likes of Vanguard and Robinhood broker access. With a few clicks, you too can become a more productive capitalist.
