Does anything change if you factor in the dividends of those 5 companies?

Dividends are around 1-5%, large caps are closer to 1% (or 0) (AAPL 0.89%, MSFT 1.04%)

Were they higher 20 years ago though, when valuations weren't as crazy? Either way, that 1-5% compounding for 20 years makes a difference.
