Well as another shareholder I also wouldn’t mind with idling machines , because I am happy with the current production and profit and I am also happy that my company is not generating unnecessary pollution for unnecessary profit (and as you pointed out the marginal profit decreases with increased supply). I like the world I live in to be nice and safe for my children. Little bit long term point of view :)

But this is a minority view among investors.

Most shareholders leave the demand and supply planning activity to the companies themselves.They will not consider idling of machines on the factory floor as stealing.
