Ah - there’s your problem. VC companies simply don’t do that.
The investors focus on growth first, then they enshittify. They were just saying it's time to start that cycle again.
They most certainly do and then either cash in by selling to the next more risk adverse VC or sells it at a loss if they believe the company failed to disrupt the market.
That is exactly what VC companies do. That's why they need the VC money. First you conquer the market at a loss. Only when users have no other options to escape to, you start squeezing them.
