I don’t know very much about business - but having the goal of most new companies being to be bought by a larger company doesn’t really sound healthy to me.

Shouldn't goal for most companies to be self-sufficient and to generate reasonable dividends for their owners? Then depending on goals of owners they might or might not be private.

For me that sounds much more desirable than having a handful of extremely highly valued giga corporations. It cannot be long term good to have so much valuation concentrated to what less than 10 or so companies...

No, the company founders should be allowed to set their own goals and not have them dictated by regulators.
