Since time immemorial acquired companies have claimed this sort of thing and then the acquiring companies have shut it down quick. Practically a meme at this point.

I still can't forgive Apple to buy darksky and then killing it. It was so good and Apple Weather is still not even close. Why are these big companies buying small companies that have a great product and just let it die without using their tech?

It's not only a meme, it's a Tumblog too, and I first saw it many years ago.
