Definitely! I'm just being realistic - These press releases are basically the tea ceremony everyone is expected to perform.

If you just made several mil I honestly doubt you're thinking about making the "transition as smooth as possible". You're thinking "should I buy a Lambo or a Ferrari?"

They probably got a memo from Dropbox saying "now that we own your ass, here is a press release that you'll publish asap"

For something like this it's more like "perhaps i can put a down payment on a house after my stocks vest and i pay taxes".

A down payment on a house in the Peninsula is going to likely cost more than a Ferrari or Lamborghini

Your assumption is not very realistic.
