At some point someone is purchasing the asset for $1B. If both instances get purchased for $1B, then why do you care how they got there (assuming they both did it legally)?
You're being tricked into thinking there is "one way to build a business". There isn't.
It's not that there is only some moral goodness in building a business from scratch. I hate the idea of rich people just using their wealth and connections to succeed, basically using their connections to get undeserved access to capital. Society would be better off if it didn't happen.
