but they are a company that burns billions every year in losses and this seems like a pretty random acquisition.

Bun is the product that depends on providing that good, stable, cross-platform JS runtime and they were already doing a good job. Why would Anthropic's acquisition of them make them better at what they were already doing?

Because now the Bun team don't have to redirect their resources to implementing a sustainable business model.

No they don't.
