<<<I wonder if the thought that they could sell
all in this manner (rather than via buyout) and be what - 20 times
richer, then start over with some other startup has ever crossed their
minds?>>>

Remember, the boys only own 18% of MRV so if they sold the company for 1 Billion, they would only net 180 million cut up 4 ways. They may feel they want 1 billion for themselves. Then they have taxes to pay and restricted covenants to abide by and the possibility that the acquirer may want their services for 5 years.

Being involved in a new company would mean products that were not sold to the acquirer. Frankly, I would like to see them get 1 billion for their end. That would mean my share would be worth that much more.
