Google is also very bad at making its different divisions work together.

Which is pretty neat when you work on a competing product (and way better than having them use their dominant position to help prop up a new product).

I worked on a music streaming service for a long time. We had a stellar relationship with Google.

It felt a bit weird that they did not push Play Music more .. in my opinion it was at one time a great music service. Still, we did not complain.

Apple on the other end sees everything iTunes related as mission critical and working with them was a nightmare.

So, not surprised to see AndroidTV (which afaik has no relationship with youtube people) partnering with netflix.

And looking from the outside.

The Apple TV app works with third party providers along with Siri.

And Apple participates in Movies Anywhere. If you buy a movie from a participating studio from either Amazon, Google or Vudu, among others, it’s counted as a purchase in iTunes. The same is true in the other direction.
