You are saying the plan was to buy a "price-beating competitor", invest in them for 16 years, and then finally pull the rug out now?

They’re not competition if you own them! Typepad continued for over a decade after it was purchased. Auth0 is still in maintenance mode afaik. It can last as long as revenue pays for the FTE to maintain it, or until corporate reallocated the FTE to higher revenue-per-FTE-hour opportunities.
