At tech giant's scale, I'd say yes. YouTube gets the level of promotion and integration with Google services that money can't buy.

Google and Microsoft use their successful products to promote and keep competition out for other products.

Microsoft got slapped for Internet Explorer, but somehow Google gets away with shoving Chrome and the Android certification program which is basically "you either bundle all our other products, or we'll make you incompatible with Play Services".
