This might be why Cisco bought them:

OMB Memorandum M-21-31[0], “Improving the Federal Government's Investigative and Remediation Capabilities Related to Cybersecurity Incidents” which includes directives to ensure event logging goes well beyond the current norms.

By all accounts I've heard it's going to enrich the fortunes of every single SIEM/Log aggregation company out there, pretty much every govt contractor is going to need larger licenses in the next few years as contracts get rewritten with this EO in mind.

Partially, but Splunk has been on the market for sometime actually. Also, large companies that compete with Cisco like CRWD, PAN, etc have been building out SIEM capabilities, as has Cisco, though Cisco being Cisco it didn't get the attention needed.
