Yes, but it's what most companies are advised to do (get as much public money as possible). And wouldn't you if there was a market for it? The companies are not forcing you to hand over your money at IPO.
Look at the performance of: Deliveroo, Darktrace, Robinhood, Fubotv, Lucid, Palantir, Rivian plus the many more IPOs during the pandemic.
All IPO'd during the pandemic because we were in euphoric market times to get as much money as possible. The hype has gone and most of these are down 80%+.
