> That's not even a lot! Apple, Google & FB have $200bn, $140bn & $65bn respectively. Dividends don't seem to be a thing, and it's basically impossible to invest this much cash internally. These companies don't have factories to build, or any kind of hard capital investments to make.

All of this is relative to those companies' scale. They do, naturally, have capital investments to make. These just aren't enough to utilize their available capital, currently.
