What did Qualcomm get from buying Nuvia it wouldn't have gotten from just hiring all Nuvia employees?
Edit: I guess it wouldn't be that simple to do

Acquihire's are very common. You can negotiate who is coming with you (or force getting the entire team and not just the A players), agreed to pay raises during the transfer, stock or other important roles, etc. Less unsettling for the employees too, having to go through the interview pipeline like a walk-in would.
Sometimes its the entire goal. Leave a company to fill a need it can't solve itself with the plan to get bought back in later.
Times have changed tho so who knows.
