why are shareholders expected return to investment every time when money isn’t infinite and infinite growth isn’t possible

Like you can’t expect everything to be a success and money isn’t infinite. Infinite growth can’t exist, especially for all shareholders around the world. And yet they expect full return on their investment whereas companies should focus on their clients who buy their products and employees who want to help the company and be rewarded but yet the bosses only seen to focus on making shareholders happy. There seems to have been a shift in this mindset somehow over the decades.

It’s naive on my part and it’s more complicated than what I wrote, but I’m curious and I would like to understand. Thank you for your help!

Infinite growth can’t exist; but I don’t see any reason to think we are anywhere but the slow initial phase of the logistic curve; our economy has barely begun to expand to its true potential. We haven’t even mined an asteroid yet or built a real orbital or lunar colony yet. We have cut extreme poverty in half in the last 20 years… great…. we have a LONG way to go in developing the rest of the world, much less the solar system.

In my lifetime we have advanced further than we did since agriculture was invented, and its only started.
