doing a traditional IPO

I don't know that much about the actual costs of taking
a private company public thru a regular underwriting vs
merging with an existing SPAC ..

Looking at the recent DKNG and VTIQ/NKLA deals I think that
the SPAC shareholders ended up in the ~7% ownership range
of the newly combined entities ..

The ~7% equity "cost" of going public in this manner must be attractive
vs the traditional IPO or none of the PE stable companies
would use SPACs .. or am I missing something here ??
