He's said that way before 2020, also. Publicly. It seems that has not changed. Most in that kind of position would come to the same conclusions of buying up the competition and making money off their products. It's cheaper, it's easier, you already get the infrastructure and customer base, etc. What capitalist wouldn't try to go that route?
