They've never needed to use debt because tech is so powerful that it throws off enough cash to finance everything through equity. It's actually incredibly inefficient but the technology is so world-changing that they can get away with it. But when you're building physical infrastructure that's capital-intensive You can't do that. The debt markets have ONE rule: pay me my goddamn money back. Software belongs in Silicon Valley."
