That’s not what the ICANN thinks, and this started in 2012:

Any idea why Google and Microsoft and Apple don’t yet have TLDs then?

Google does.

Apple does.

https://apple.nic

I think you meant https://nic.apple :)

Worth pointing out that the ICANN agreement for all these new TLDs require a website live on whois.nic.<tld> under Specification 4. eg, Google's TLD delegation agreement (https://itp.cdn.icann.org/en/files/registry-agreements/googl...).

Most TLDs will also put live nic.<tld>, but it's not required.

edit: huh, seems like a lot of TLDs are not following their ICANN agreements.

Weirdly if you browse to nic.apple there is a link on that page to “Whois for .apple” which points to http://whois.nic.apple/ which seems to be dead.

EDIT: I couldn’t have been more wrong — all three have TLDs. Not really sure if they are being used for much though! Most of the action still seems to be on their .com domains

Also Microsoft:
