Because maybe they reached out to them, and they didn't took the money, while Bun folks business model wasn't working out?

Who knows?

Besides, how are they going to get back the money spent on the acquisition?

Many times the answer to acquisitions has nothing to do with technology.

Anthropic chose to use Bun to build their tooling.

    We can think of they making bun an internal tool, push roadmap items that fit their internal products, whatever, which doesn't answer the getting back money of the acquisition.

    Profit in those products has to justify having now their own compiler team for a JavaScript runtime.
