> The entire purpose of starting a company is to get acquired
The entire purpose of starting a company is to make a profit by delivering a product or service that the market will willingly buy. The operative word there is "profit" -- something that seems to have going conspicuously missing from companies that are being built for the purpose of being "exited".

People can start companies for whatever reason, also your company itself can be the product and big tech companies might be the market you're targeting. Users might just be along for the ride (and they get cheaper and/or better products because VCs are willing to subsidize their development).
