Maybe, but the fact of the matter is that Apple does not licence iOS, and Apple also only seems to aim its devices at consumers and specifically "creator" professionals.

Google is also primarily a software company. Even when they made the Pixel, I'm fairly sure it exists more so that there's a baseline other Android manufacturers need to keep up with (to keep Android competitive) rather than to make a profit in its own right.

I work in warehousing software and write software for scanners, 100% of which run Android. There is no Apple scanner and I doubt there ever will be.
