I don’t see how you can consider leaving it in the company being “taking it for themselves”. You can’t do anything with that money other than pay for business investment or expenses. At least until it’s turned into dividends.
I reject the idea that the company is some legal person separate from the people that run it. They are the company, they can choose to use that money however they want. If they want to pay out huge bonuses from the profits, they can. It’s their choice.
Just because they might choose to use that money to fuel growth or buy back stock or something doesn’t mean it isn’t theirs.
