I already wondered for long time why they don't just buy PioneerDj, the biggest DJ brand ever, with all the money you earn with a free open source project ;)

I think it still belongs to them, but they rebranded to AlphaTheta

Not according to Wiki. It's owned by Noritsu.

Seems like you're right: "In 2020 Pioneer DJ's parent company's name was changed to AlphaTheta Corporation. In March of that year KKR and Pioneer Corporation sold their respective stakes in AlphaTheta Corporation to Japanese holding company Noritsu" (Source)
