> Google's own incompetence and lack of reliability

Google are not a hardware company, they are an advertising broker. They aren't in the least bit interested in anything that doesn't increase money from that core business. They only started making phones so as not to lose control over that advertising space, but they remain mediocre at it at best because that's enough for them.

Apple are a hardware company, that's where their focus is.
