Are talent acquisitions better with symmetric product acquisitions?

Today's talent acquisitions (and the death of some great apps) got me thinking - would it make sense to put out a standing offer to purchase and continue work on discontinued products who's teams are being acquired?

It seems like it would help the team to monetize a soon-to-be defunct product, and help their user base by providing continuity and updates beyond maintenance. I'd assume that any team geting acqui-hired probably has some traction in their product. Thoughts?
