1. probably something with AI in it. You got maybe 2-3 years before the bubble pops.

2. branding. cultural awareness can take years or more, and I'm sure coporate knows by now that their brands aren't the best thing to slap onto every scenario. Disney is well learned in this kind of conduct.

3. Because the last thing you want in an aquihire is for all the talent your poaching to jump ship. Some employees may have even worked there previously and used a company to get away from that corporate culture.

So a lot of an aquihire's money tends to go towards golden handcuffs.
