Perhaps this preference is mathematically irrational, but we're not robots. I suspect this preference for dividends can be chalked up to 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.' There's also the reality that a policy of paying dividends forces executives to think longer-term, and decreases the company's pile of cash. That pile, especially if it's extra large, presents a temptation to raid it [via the C-suite increasing their own bonuses or other compensation]. Naturally, a dividend policy doesn't guarantee anything, but there's probably a very good reason why many large corporations throughout history have paid dividends.
Good overview of investing history for the United States over the past ~100 years.
