That may be the case in the PC market (HP, Dell vs Microsoft), but not in the mobile market. Google develops Android, but makes very little from it--it may not even pay for itself. The real money in Android phones is being made by ONE manufacturer--Samsung.
In the case of iOS, Apple makes the hardware and software. Your statement in re: mobile is nonsense.
