I'm more debating the definition of "value creation" rather than "investment". But admittedly I did conflate the two terms in an earlier response. I'd offer: not all investments, even the ones that provide monetary returns, do so by creating value.

How do a business provide monetary return if not by creating value? A house also provides value (in the form of housing), why would anyone want to pay rents otherwise?
