I think of this as Google is great at creating value, and Apple is great at capturing value.

Google captures a lot of value in search ads.

This is total speculation but I imagine that Google captures less of the value it creates than Apple does.

If Android makes up 90% of the market share and is half as valuable as an iPhone and Google was capturing the same % of value created Google would have revenue numbers from android that are larger than Apples from the iPhone. But it's not even comparable.
