Right, but presumably, the company that spends all it's cash gets something in return for all this money, ideally of equal or greater value to said company than cash spent.

Management (jeff and co) elect to spend cash on bettering the position of the company, (and thus keeping the wealth within the company) opposed to just sending money to the owners (spreading the wealth to stock holders/entities external to the company)
