That's why they should take that 25 million and invest it in startups that might become competitors one day.

It's just not elegant to try to put everything under one company. Better to buy back 25 million of stock from an investor, who can then buy one of those startups and run it independently.

I don't think they're that afraid of digital camera startups :)

It's not about being afraid, it's about letting other companies try innovations that won't succeed within your own company.
