Why companies even care about what their shareholders think?
It's not like they gonna show up with their shares and ask for their money back.
Only things that I can think of is that members of the board might care because they can be sacked by shareholders, also company might want to pat shareholders on their heads because it is planning to sell more of its stock to gather some more free cash and wants it to be as much as possible.
I don't think you can sack google founders and I don't think google cares about money from selling shares anymore, so why anyone at google should care about what shareholders think?
