Investment shifts Supply through capital expenditures. Less investment can mean lower supply. Lower supply can mean higher prices. Higher prices can cause lower demand. Investment definitely has a relationship with demand, that's one of the core parts of the law of supply and demand. The businesses don't "have to" grow just because there seems to be a high demand. The businesses not growing can be a useful way to drop that demand. It's still a choice to prefer short-term investment revenue gains from a business that is long-term destructive to the planet and everyone else's well being. That revenue isn't value neutral, the source still matters.
