Auto makers are used to making their own platforms, and they won't change. Making a platform is not the hard part, and there are advantages to a custom platform for each vehicle.

Auto makers are used to integrating technology from other companies like Bosch.
But not their platforms. Automakers generally make their own platforms (though they will rebadge someone else's too), engines (again they share with each other, but most have their own), and transmissions. Everything else is outsourced to companies like Bosch.
