It's just my person musings but..for non-commodities companies(and I don't think many tech companies are considered commodities)... I think that founders have a certain vision and talent which cannot be separated from the company.
When that founder leaves, unless the company has become a monopoly, the company is basically lost.
No amount of the worlds best and brightest bean counters can replace the talent and spark that founder had.
These are just personal thoughts. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the future. To see if the board killed the golden goose like Apple did in the 90s.
