Do Blackrock and Vanguard really own all of these companies, or do their investors? Their investors are people who give their monies to money managers/investment managers at Blackrock and Vanguard.

BlackRock currently boasts more than $20 trillion in investments

BlackRock is not a 20 trillion dollar company. Apple is valued at 2.4 trillion. BalckRock is not the biggest company in the US, by revenue or market cap.
