I suspect this is a case of when it all goes well or at least not badly that it is simply normal and a case of 'not newsworthy'. Yes, a lot of bad things happen in the world, but don't forget that a lot of good or just OK happens and never gets reported because it is just normal.

The issue is that the overwhelming incentive for these sorts of buyouts is towards very short-term decisions leading up to a sale. If things line up correctly, this can have good results, but usually it involves compromising the product, long-term business, cutting corners, etc. People on places like HN are especially wary of this sort of thing because a lot of us are tech professionals who end up in the trenches first hand when those corners get cut. This is especially dangerous in the realm of security.
