I suppose from the perspective of those higher up the chain of command, it’s not much different than acquiring competing companies as soon as possible.

It's the exact opposite.
If you acquire a competing company, you ideally assimilate the employee work force and integrate them into your organization. You welcome them and make them feel home from day one. At least those that you keep. There are likely a few that you let go. But it's really important not to get hard feelings in there, 2-tier engineering, internal competition. I'd quit immediately any organization that doesn't understand this.
