The point of buying up small companies is to avoid them growing into competition. If there are fewer startups around, the price of buying your way into maintaining incumbency decreases.

It's not like we'll ever find out. And it's weird how these little accidents keep happening in favour of big companies. Making it harder for new competitors AND depressing tech salaries? Sure Likewise EU vatmoss didn't add so much crap on small sellers that they all moved on amazon.

You can buy the startups after year one or two when they realize they make money but can't borrow money to pay their taxes.
