It also doesn't owe your CEO billions for hovering over a company where other people (like you) do the actual value creation.

That's fairly well understood. If people get wind that the CEO isn't necessary they'd be out on their ear in short order. I don't think I've ever met anyone who'd shed a tear for the CEO losing their job. Except CEOs.

CEO's don't lose jobs, they just move into other board/CEO positions.

Never a shortage of those, it seems. But only for insiders, of course.
