I should have added the distinction: they are not end-user software companies, embedded is another world.

There's a lot of software, but their business is making and selling hardware. That almost always leads to the business viewing software as an afterthought and a cost center. Embedded is absolutely rife with this and the quality is often awful as a result (yes, even in safety critical applications)

apple is a hardware company and manages to buck this trend.
