I still fail to see how this benefitted anyone at either Broadcom or vmware

It didn't have to. It had to benefit shareholders and stock prices, that's it.

That said, you can be damn sure it benefited the executive teams at both companies, very lucratively. Anyone below VP level can get bent, of course, as is tradition with M&A deals.
