you are mis-reading the institutional ownership. The overwhelming majority of shares held by institutions are market makers who hold positions to delta hedge their options book. Taking a quick look at the latest 13F's, I'd say this at applies to at least 90% of the shares. THey are certainly not "owners" of the stock in the way you think.

just what the data says, the best I have ... you are right, they are not pension funds holding them ... how much are market makers and how much other 'true' institutional, idk ... 90% would be a lot, could be true ... idk, open to find out for more nuance, thank you for the feedback, have a good day :)
