    If they’re public, they have huge pressure. If not, they can play their own game with a specific strategy that a shareholder might not like. So this could well be a good thing. Public trading usually leads to enshitification.

      Company wholly owned by the EQT group, a publicly traded global investment organization. This is just going to lead to more enshittification.

        But you are still obligated to always act in the best interest of the shareholders. Private means you don’t answer to anyone outside the company and are not forced to do everything to pump the stock price every quarter.
