Milwaukee and Ryobi are owned by the same company.

Ryobi occupies the entry level/budget market, and Milwaukee is the upper tier/professional market.

I think Rigid is also owned by the same company and occupies the market between the two.

They also manufacturer tools for other companies, like I think Walmarts Hart brand.

This is correct. I almost worked for them. They also make (or at least did) make the pump/sprayer for swifter wet jets, Hoover and dirt devil vacuums, and I’m sure I’m forgetting some others. Their HQ is where I first saw a 3d printer like 15 years ago. It was a pretty interesting company.
