Why would anyone acquire a company that made a successful VSCode fork or a wrapped Chromium browser? I expect these people making such decisions to be far from understanding tech behind it.

Cursor is a VSCode fork, generating reported $500M+ in revenue and is only a couple years old.

Yes, and the person you are replying to is clearly referencing Windsurf which was another vscode fork...
Arc I think graduated from wrapper status, it was a really interesting and unique browser while it lasted.
In The Browser Company’s case, they have a lot of engineers who work on Chromium. Not sure about the other wrapper companies!
Because those companies own the customers.
