We are in agreement

The difference is really about who provides the dividend shares, the company or the investor on record.
Either way a buyer between now and the ex- div date (allowing for settlement) gets the dividend shares.

So a new question is, what are the tax implications here? How does the IRS treat these “free” shares?
