There's reasons why that doesn't happen to this kind of company
- short term-ism leads to great financial results in the short term so the stock price goes up making a buy out expensive. Anyone that can see the internal issues will know it's not worth that price.
- very few groups can make an offer on companies as large as Intel and Boeing. Those groups are not known for deep engineering expertise.
- companies use poison pills and other measures to prevent take overs
