You can buy IVV instead and get the same exposure but this time you get to vote. Or you could just not own spy and buy the shares individually.
What 401k program do you or your peers have that allows you to buy funds outside of the few, selected by the 401k manager?
I certainly can't buy individual shares in my 401k program. And very, very few programs I'm aware of ever offered that as an option.
