Could they have built something new? Sure, but that's not really the point. They had their baby, they stuck with it. Talk to a programmer that builds a powerful system from the ground up. That system is their life.
I guess it depends on what you think the cap is...
From my POV, 6B is 'unlimited money' and no amount is 'more' than unlimited. That's full generational wealth that would take decades to spend if you mismanage it or could last to the end of time if properly handled. So when someone offers that amount for pretty much any business or product... I'd say yes. Even if the long term value of the asset were 10B or 20B.... I'd take the 6B, wish them well, and hope they make more than they paid me. Once I have my 6B no reason to be greedy...
