What makes all of the comparisons in this thread curious is the vast difference in scale.

And so?

An engine maker makes money selling engines for energy production.

Then someone invents cars.

The engine maker sees a 10x bigger market, but they have cash and the car inventor does not.

The engine maker funds the car inventor, to create a big distribution channel.

Some things are larger in proportion.

There's nothing wrong with this as long as investors are aware of the structure.
