&gt;No sane company is going to invest more money in a platform than they believe they&#x27;ll eventually get a return for, so that&#x27;s generally an upper bound. You don&#x27;t spend 20 billion on a project you think will net you 5 billion in revenue.<p>That is completely incorrect. It depend on strategy of company . If company consider some product to be strategic place, they will spend hell more than what they will get in return.
About android it is same. Google does not think about Android as strategic product (they maybe change their mind after windows 10 attack and Microsoft revive, I dunno).<p>Mostly they think that is something we have , we provide it to the market , specially to the third world . Just for getting more and more people access to the internet.<p>That&#x27;s all.
