It's the murican VC MO:

Why compete when you can buy the competition before it even develops?

But it is interesting that they are not using their own product to build it…..since “you don’t need developers anymore”

Maybe they're trying to turn their AI VC money into real money? IDK what windsurf is.

Here are some points to consider:

Distribution: The focus isn't on distribution, as OpenAI has a larger user base.
Talent: The emphasis isn't on the team, since they specialize in UX rather than ML search.
Why not vibe coding it? Likely because the true value lies in the data rather than the user experience: the actions each user takes to resolve or build code.
