android and chrome both are also late but they won. In Cloud also they are late but they look like to be making big progress.

Android didn't win, they just prevented Apple to have a 100% monopoly on smartphones.

Edit: Apple is certainly taking the lion's share of profits in the phone space. Since Google isn't investing as heavily anymore in Android, the development has slowed considerably.

Define winning - I'd take "Android maintained its position as the leading mobile operating system worldwide in the second quarter of 2023 with a market share of 70.8 percent. Android's closest rival, Apple's iOS, had a market share of 28.4 percent during the same period." [0]

Android is like 80% of the market, Apple just has a majority in the US
