   Google builds its platform on Linux.   
      
   Both Google and Apple have products in all three of the market   
   segments you mention, but Linux is also widely present elsewhere, even   
   if you count consumer-only products (e.g. the Steam Deck).   
      
   You claim Apple’s product line is “tightly integrated”, yet I   
   mentioned elsewhere the problems a user had doing something as   
   seemingly simple as moving raw-format photos from their Iphone to a   
   Macintosh.
