They went through the numbers as realized it would be cheaper to build an equivalent product than buy your startup. This is always a risk founders and investors are aware of. There's nothing disgusting about it. I wouldn't even go as far as saying it was people "focused on their career." They were really just doing their jobs.

The real problem is that the managerial authority to cut the check of the correct size is 4 political levels higher than the manager whose ass is getting kicked by your startup. Once your startup is kicking the CEO's ass, then you can expect a buyout.
