If I dare say the blind 'this tribe hates that tribe' seems like a very modern concept. It was always subtle alliances, people fighting and cooperating together, bar some very monotheistic warfare like the crusades, and even they were not so black and white.

No, that must be one of the oldest tools of demagoguery ever. It was probably useful in the prehistoric "environment of evolutionary adaptedness" out on the plains of Africa.

Yep. Maybe small companies are this way but within something the size of Apple or Google there are always different groups with different plans and priorities.
