Indeed. I have to think that it's hardly like there are (or were at the time) no precedents. When you sell out^H^H^H your company, you give up ultimate control. However, I've thought about this space a bit (the idea-space, not the solution-space), and I've always come to the conclusion it's too fragmented. Too many things to too many different players. But if the field is wide open again, better to invite someone into the opportunity than dwell on the past.
