Can someone please explain why these corporations buy companies for a product they can build themselves for (usually) less money?

  They don't buy the product they buy the team and their vision.

    Perhaps most importantly: They bought the userbase.

      How would Yahoo! acquire the user base in this case? By putting more Yahoo! apps on the screen? But users need to install them in the first place.
