Cool. Let’s break them both down and replace them with a thousand smaller, employee owned, and ethical companies.
Fragmenration is not preferred by most users and many of the services and systems these two run require large international teams. That’s not to say that they don’t need to be checked by antitrust.
It is pretty arbitrary as others have said.
But tbh, never understood why Apple is so highly valuable in the first place. Consumers are stupid.
iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, AirTags. None of those products were the first, just the first competent product that offers good usability in a sea of otherwise mediocre options.
As long as electronics makers keep sleeping at the wheel Apple will be able to capitalize on creating things people actually want to use.

Yeah but how do you wade through the fields of bullshit to find a decent PC laptop? PC manufacturers have like 200 SKUs.
Like I go to dell.com, what’s the best option? Inspiron? Precision? Latitude? Vostro? Which of those lines is “premium”? And each of those lines has like 4 models each. And that’s just one manufacturer.
But ultimately you buy one of those machines, bring it home, boot up windows and get served ads in the fucking start menu.

One cartel became bigger than another one.
Don’t you all have a business or economics community to post this?
If I subscribe to technology, I want tech news. Not how this month one tech giant is valued slightly higher than another.
Who… fucking… cares?
