I think the real lesson here is that once a company identifies it's cash cow it becomes hostile to all other efforts.
Interesting and accurate argument. Is that your own idea or is it based on anything more? I agree with you.
Just look at Apple with the iPhone. Their official online store [0] does not even show Apple displays for notebooks anymore.

Yes, I made that example because I think that if a bigger share of their revenue came from notebooks, they would still make their own displays.
Based on a few obversations. I do remember Larry Page's "More Wood Behind Fewer Arrows" doctrine a while back as well as they began killing off popular but unprofitable services.
