Weren't there a half dozen Facebook acquihires where the company hadn't launched any product at all? A former coworker coined them "fist-bump acquisitions" because the defining characteristic was that one of the founders was always a former roommate of Zuck or other early employee.

Possibly, and if that's the case those were probably pretty stupid acquisitions for the company. (And arguably Zuck not doing his fiduciary duty.)
