In the past, yes. But that's not the way they operate these days. In mobile, for example, they are now being criticised for delivering better products (or in some cases only products) for Android and iOS, rather than Windows Phone/Mobile. The cloud is becoming increasingly big and important to them and they need to interact with all potential consumers regardless of platform. It's economic realities.
