A big part of Broadcom’s current business model seems to be:
- Buy company that makes an important product/service used by many big companies.
- Squeeze the acquired company for every last drop of short term profit; increasing prices, abandoning products, etc.
- Watch large companies jump ship to other solutions
- Repeat
Products go to Broadcom to die.
A good reason to try to avoid being deeply dependent on a product that a single company controls that’s hard to transition away from. Even if you’re happy with that company, someone else might manage to get control of them.
