Better still: change the definition of "growth" to encompass more nuanced, non-quantifiable things like user happiness, employee happiness, etc.

those can be faked always that's why I personally don't like those kinda metrics.
why would the current shareholders want anything other than profit (which is by proxy measured by growth)?
Shareholders care not for employee happiness, in so far as said employee is working and producing. Ditto with user happiness - if they're not happy they can leave. By not leaving, they must be happy to stay.
I think these proposals to "change" the metrics is as flawed as the current system.
