> I always saw Canon as a large conglomerate who tacked on photography as another arm of their company Just for reference, what is now Canon started purely as a company making camera bodies, using lenses from what is now Nikon (who didn't make cameras themselves until much later).

And quite frankly, everyone is suffering. Spreading our bets for the sake of competition can also lead to no single company being sustainable.
