You could argue Microsoft had the same disease. Ultimately, it's not as terminal because turning around a software-sized cruise ship is alot easier than turning around a hardware one.

Google can be refocused in a 4 years. Intel, at minimum, seems to need a decade.

Microsoft has a worse case of the same problem but greater monopoly force. Entirely dependent on the captive markets but rapidly snatching up everything they can to enforce it on other markets.
