No, you can also be profitable (or healthy) as-is and keep humming along.

In docker's case they are on the bankruptcy trajectory so now they have to make choices to change that trajectory (or select option 1 and go bankrupt).

That seems like option 3: Find a way to make money

It's missing: continue what we're doing since it working. My company already found a way to make money, we don't need to be bought and are far from bankrupcy.

That doesn't work for docker since they are on a decline and the business isn't sustainable as it is anymore. So they are on a bankruptcy trajectory already.
