Someone on cnbc made an interesting comment today. Not explicitly saying it but suggesting it might make a convenient situation whereby a company formerly villaified as being anticompetitive and dangerous now looks meek and on the verge of death so that they can again make acquisitions.

I’ve thought for a couple years now Zoom would make an interesting target for them- a huge built-in enterprise audience, one of the last remaining independent video conferencing companies with (imo) best of breed engineering and product and now beaten down valuation and meetings are the main focus area for VR right now.

It's an interesting thought, but that seems like a huge gamble just to provide an opening to make moves that may or may not pay off. I would think things would have to be pretty bleak for a risk like that to make sense.
