Proton and Standard Notes are joining forces

I can’t stand this ambiguous language, what does “join” even mean? Can’t they just write “Proton buys 100% of Standard Notes”?

Maybe people wondering where the money came from (are there other investors now?)

idk, if you think of it as two groups of people joining together to work together it's not so weird. people first vs business first maybe.

It was confusing to me. I assumed it was about some kind of collaboration or integration, not an acquisition.
