In •principle•, a company being able to raise the share price with buybacks instead of growth could help enable “good thing that lasts” models.
In principle. Not what’s happening in practice, clearly.
With that line of thinking in mind, I appreciate what @JessTheUnstill said:

Yeah, what about dividends? What if we made •them• tax-advantaged — or at least not disadvantaged relative to capital gains?

  Corporations shouldn't be allowed to do stock buybacks from pre-tax earnings. The whole point of stock buybacks is to effectively pay dividends to their shareholders by reducing the number of outstanding shares on the market. It's just a tax dodge because actually paying dividends makes the company pay taxes on the profits and the shareholders have to pay taxes on the dividends. Tax. The. Rich.
