Unfortunately, in practice, this isn't really true.

It's a less powerful motivation, in that there are not shareholders who will benefit from growth.

But in practice, executives and managers end up making more, which provides an incentive for growth.

Completely agree. In the end, it's all about the motivation and ethics of the owners. For an extereme example: OpenAI is "non-profit".
