I can't speak for Mint, but not everyone is interested in creating a revolution.

Yeah but it is counter-intuitive to open a business with the intent on being bought or anything along those lines.

This just feeds big companies and will likely cause innovation to happen slowly through common user perspectives and reduce competitive businesses.

Why is it counter-intuitive? If your goal is to make a lot of money, sometimes your exit strategy will be acquisition.

I was assuming that when people open a business they like that business, I guess I assumed wrong for startup culture.
