I hear what you are saying and agree but wonder if this would have the effect of stifling the creation of new companies as so many people start a company with the hope of being acquired.

Oh no, what will we do without the companies running on funding, without a viable business model, trying to get more monthly active users by any means. /s

I don't think this approach has been healthy for quite a while. It may be an actual good thing that companies think more about long-term independent survival.

I think this exact thinking has perverted the idea of business and has steadily been eroding consumer trust in small business and their offerings.
