Quote from dividend:
Marketcap is just Price x Shares outstanding. Remember when google's marketcap was over XXX billion dollars and everyone had a fit about it? Remember how they "couldn't believe" it at $80. And here it sits at $400 many years later.
Whether it's marketcap weighted or price weighted isn't the point. The point is that the components change.

If you want to talk about the effect of delistings from the index then use accurate language.
