One question is: Why would a promising startup take a $5-20M investment from Vision Fund and not from somebody else?

If you are $10M investment in a fund of $100B you won't be getting much support or mind share from your investor. It's not just VCs shopping for companies to invest in. It's also companies thinking from whom to take the money.

Some companies are perfectly happy to take dumb money. It’s still money.
