What company does the digital camera sensor inside your phone come from? Why couldn't have that been Kodak?

Kodak had digital cameras but it would 10-15 years before digital sensors would be good enough.

But the film market collapsed in like 5-7 years.

and some simple math says that 10-15 minus 5-7 still leaves Kodak in the lurch. But it's now 2025, and Kodak the corporation is still around, so I don't know that my supposition: Kodak would be doing better today if they'd gone all in on digital camera sensor technology, is disproven by that fact.
