This is brilliant if you think about it.
They decided to get in the streaming platform industry, and KNEW they wouldn't survive or THRIVE with just Disney content TBH.
So they acquired all of Fox's.
Then decided that that new content(Simpsons, Family Guy, Aliens, etc...) that they acquired CAN'T mesh with their almost 100 year brand they established and decided to get another vehicle to display that content, instead of leaving them on the shelf.
What better way to do that then buy out an already established and know one. Which would eliminate competition in the market and also allow yours to thrive along side it and make profits from both.
They really are evil, this world domination
