Nope. You're just using a stupid metric.
Corporations use payout ratio to decide how reasonable the dividend is, which is the ratio of the dividends per share to the earnings per share.
That in this case is around 10%.
The most you'll ever see is about 40%- in any company.
So the most you could ever see from Alphabet is a yield of 0.48%, which wouldn't make one bit of a difference to you unless you had billions in their stock.
For a company to have a yield of 7%, they must have a very low valued stock.
That will generally be the case, because the stock's real money making capacity- it's growth- is low.
