The SHARD PROJECTS, who owns Shard coins will receive a share of the profits on this projects if they succeed?
By staking you are already being rewarded, that is better than any dividends already.
Never mind on top of that 20% of Shardax's Projects earnings every quarter are used for liquidity, buying and burning Shard and then there is also the SCR that is used for liquidity and burning Shard.
You have a point that by staking, they are being rewarded already.
But in time, even if you are staking and no one wants to buy your coin, then, how are you going to earn?
The volume in one exchange doesn't say much about the trading activity.

A good staking coin is only good if it's valuable and active in the market.
But if the traders or buyers lost their interest and decided to move on to the new one in the block, then, you're screwed. Just my 2 cents though.
