For your calculation on dividends, what was the assumption for change in stock price due to change in demand resulting from the issue of the dividend?

Good morning, meta, google, aapl, msft, etc ALL aggressively use stock-based comp, they issue options to key people.
Does it make sense that they would all pay a small annual div if they believed that the div would hurt demand for the common?
nvda raised its div from 4 cents to a dollar, to decrease demand for the common?
Has Buffett ever debated the pros and cons of a small div with Gates? With Cook?
Has Buffett ever, suggested, to Cook that he freezes the div and just buyback more stock?
meta,nvda,googl,aapl,msft, would trade at higher multiples, today, IF they never paid a div?
This makes sense here? Does Buffett believe this?
Why buy div paying stocks if there is proof that non div payers provide superior long-term returns?
Note, I have touted adx and cet for years both in an American IRA and my taxable accounts. It's worked out very well, despite the divs. ::))
