Every company that has ever acquired anything says this exact same thing. Then the deal closes and it’s back to bottom line numbers.

I guess this[1] image from the F5 article gives an idea of where nginx fits from their perspective. F5 is a huge company (4000~ employees) that already likely has thousands of boxes running nginx. If you're going to continue using nginx as a critical piece of your business you might as well secure its future.
