While I'm not privy to the specifics of this specific deal, I believe often the point of raising large amounts of capital, is to secure and ensure continued market dominance, in winner-takes-all stakes. It's usually not the primary goal to innovate new features per se, although that is often what is stated publicly. Furthermore, when it comes time to exit, a premium will likely be paid, for the competitor in pole position.
