The only way that differs "any corp" is that in most publicly corporations, you want to return that money to your shareholders - and they sit on it for the same reason. IE, this just says Jobs ran Apple as his personal fife. But since he made lots of money, no one cared.

I’m a shareholder, and I would rather that money be used to grow stock price (since it is already at a business known for creating new products and markets).

If I get a dividend, I have to pay tax today. And then I just turn around and buy more stock with post tax income?

If I can sell the share at a higher price when I want the cash, then I can pay the tax whenever I want, possibly under more preferable terms.
