I think it's also worth keeping in mind that a lot of important open source tech has originated at Google. Without Google we wouldn't have NodeJS, Electron, Kubernetes, Go, Flutter etc. None of the other big tech companies have made comparable contributions.

And just considering mobile alone, of course diminishing Android will empower Apple.
