Keeping the cash for as long as shareholders will possibly let you really is in their best interests. I would certainly do the same if I were in their position.

It may be in the best interest of the company, but never returning cash to shareholders is not in the best interest of the shareholders. A company that is committed to NEVER pay a dividend is worthless to shareholders. The only reason stocks go up in value as they grow their business is the expectation that eventual future dividends will be greater. A company that commits to never pay a dividend would only see it's share price go up based on the greater fool theory.
