You're not paying the company, you're buying a share of its capital. That's not the same thing at all: in exchange, you get a right to get shareholders information and to participate in general assemblies, a right you may sell back later.

Plus, 1 share is enough to be invited to the shareholders meeting to get to ask questions. That's not out of touch.

(edit for clarification)
