It's a myth that any company is bought to simply liquidate it.

It happens every day.

Companies like Onex just want to make money. They don't care how they
do it. They have no personal attachment to their acquisitions.
Either those acquisition start to generate high returns over the short
term, or they are taken apart and sold.

Never makes financial sense.

Unfortunately it often does. It just doesn't make any other kind of
sense. But money is often all that matters.

What the buyer may do is sell the units that are not core to the
business.

That's just a euphemism for what really happens.
