>most of those examples are acquisitions

Taking those products from where there were to the juggernauts they are today was not guaranteed to succeed, nor was it easy. And yes plenty of innovation happened with these products post aquisition.



But there's also plenty that fail, it's just that you won't know about those.

I don't think what you're saying proves that the companies that were acquired couldn't have done that themselves.
