What does that even mean? Both stock buybacks and dividends are the distribution of profit.
Compensation expenses (such as stock options, RSUs, etc) are accounted as expenses, which of course reduces profit.

Dividends work as well for executives rewarded with stock (unless it's options).
Buybacks are sort of pay-in-kind dividends, sure. Nobody really loves returning actual money to investors. It's contrary to nature.
