Same. Those companies abuse the fact they control the platform to push all of their other products. Nowadays to compete with a microsoft product in a fair way you also need to develope a popular deskrop OS, an office suite, cloud services and multiple programmong environments, because each of their products keeps pushing the other peoducts, and the platform control part simply gives them advantages only they can have.
