yeah, to give dividend irrelevance autist his due a dividend is not free money from nowhere

it's not precisely equivalent (for example shares determine voting rights) but in a way there's not much difference between someone who reinvests a dividend they receive (treating a dividend company like a growth company) and someone who sells a growth stock quarterly (treating a growth company like a dividend company)

but there are cases where dividend-paying stocks happen to be a good buy for various reasons much like there are cases where companies who do share buybacks are a good buy, or companies that invest in capex are a good buy, or those who pay down debt are a good buy; they're all just different ways to use cashflow and sometimes one way happens to be more suitable for a specific company or business sector, broader economic conditions over the medium term, or your personal psychology as an investor
