[Raimi Spider-Man] Why kick out Norman?

When Oscorp is bought by Quest, they want to avoid power struggles, and so they force Norman Osborn out. What were they thinking? Norman is maybe in his mid-forties, and he personally created a company and raised it to the USA's #1 defense contractor in the intervening years. He is not just a brilliant scientist, but possibly the most successful executive in America. They should be scrambling to bring him on board and take charge, not kicking him out! At a certain level of competence, he should be able to demand practically any price to keep their company on its current trajectory.

Norman Osborn WAS brilliant. Was. But in recent years, his obsession with the super human program for the US Military has been a vast blackhole that's been sucking up all the money in the company with no results. One of their head scientists even suggested to their contract holder that they needed to redo the whole project. Oscorp lucked out in that a terrorist attacked wiped out a bunch of Quest Aerospace staff and prototypes but the fact of the matter is that Quest is making machines and they have backup blueprints. Oscorp's head scientist disappeared and Norman Osborn is using up even more money for his pet white whale of a project.

Why rely on an increasingly shrinking chance of a jackpot and a company quickly losing value when Quest guarantees you a payday? All that talk about Oscorp being the best with its highest historical stock value is smoke and mirrors reliant on its principal competition reeling from a sucker punch. In a year or two, Oscorp will be falling again and Quest on the rise, so it's time to cash out.
