I think you could probably replace "Steve Ballmer" with "Tim Cook" here. From my perspective, Apple seems to be all about the profits. Wasn't it under Tim Cook that the first dividend in decades was paid out to share holders?

The money belongs to the shareholders. Piling it up and doing nothing with it isn't the best use, so returning some via buybacks and dividends makes perfect sense.
