Funny you say as a 'secondary'. Dividends are the main reason I personally like stocks as long term investment.

According to Rober Shiller's long term data on the American stock market - from 1871 to 2019 the stock market advanced by 2.323% yearly on average without dividends, and 6.836% yearly on average with dividends reinvested. Both figures after inflation. That amounts to total gains of 2'900% and 1'780'000%, respectively.

Dividends make a massive difference. It's in fact not a secondary but a primary driver of long term profit.
