Sure. But to be fair, Microsoft's four decades of returning non stop profits is more remarkable than Apple's relatively recent success and it's chequered record overall. No technology company is likely to wield the kind of power that Microsoft had in the 90's. So the advantage in doing software or the entire stack is very time period sensitive.
