It's just the eternal innovation/stagnation/extinction cycle.

It is not.
A company can make stable profits, have stable interest in the product with 0 innovation.
What happens is there is predators looking for companies like this because they know they can gut such companies and pocket tons of short term profits while the company dies.

Then there is two reasons:
1. Existence and legality of these sharks in our society
2. Naievity or loss of integrity of previous owners

Essentially, there is no reason for this to happen. It was not inevitable. But our society allows it and greed fuels it.
