I've was part of an acquire-to-remove-an-annoyance, including having the better product that didn't win for niche reasons - which vaguely matches the situation here. Yes, NVIDIA can wind down Groq (unambiguously a better product in this case) even though it doesn't make sense.

That being said, there's still a chance that NVIDIA engineering is in the process of stripping it for parts. Or the lawyers are - maybe they have too much momentum with GPUs and just want ASICs out of the market.

This kind of innovation stifling acquisition should have been blocked. NVIDIA is a serious monopoly threat.
