US companies normally do stock buy-backs instead.

It is a way to distribute the money to the investors, that their tax system favors.

There are lots of US companies that pay dividends. Another commentor lists some tech companies that do, and there are lots of other types of businesses that do. A quick internet search will give you a list.

You are correct that stock buybacks are another way that companies reward their shareholders.
