Companies can't survive on high-end products only, unless there is a monopoly or external cash. (I do want new platform of course, like everyone else)

I'm not sure this is true, especially in the era of free-flowing VC cash and low interest loans.

Maybe KaiOS/Mozilla's (now defunct) mobile department in particular can't, but companies can definitely survive on high end products only.
