The return is in the increase in value of the stock?
Dividends have only existed since the 1960s and stock buybacks only became mainstream in the 1980s. Stocks have existed in some form since the 1600s.

you realise most companies are private and don't have publicly tradable shares?
very common: a small company with a couple shareholders of that aren't employees
without dividends, how can the shareholders get THEIR profits out of THEIR company, without giving up control?
just leave them in there forever?
