We are told that if you don't pay for a product than you are the product.
So when we pay for a product and then get sold (Google wouldn't have bought the team if they didn't have any customers), it does feel disappointing.

Because the market just said they'll be more valuable at Google. This ignores the linked post's author, who was willing to pay as much as they charged, and probably more. Unfortunately, he was apparently in the minority.
