The companies knew that copyright infringement is a possibility when developing the tech. They knew the reward was still worth it despite of that.

I am not getting anything designing work for you. On the other hand I can launch my own side projects. I know that if they are any good people are going to copy and start rip offs. I am willing to take that risk.
