>In the mobile space the underdog is Google Doesn't Android have 70% market share? I don't follow how they're the underdog, surely they're more like Microsoft

  Depends on how you slice the market. Android powers 70% of the phones on the market, but iOS makes 50%+ of the profit.

    It is hard to make 50%+ profit from zero customers, as there are plenty of countries where it has hardly any presence.

    I've seen this bandied around quite a lot (iOS being more profitable). The only source I've seen cited for this comes from 2012 (https://www.pcworld.com/article/253335/ios_more_profitable_for_google_than_android.html https://www.pcworld.com/article/253335/ios_more_profitable_f...) and relates to Google getting more profit from iOS device users than Android device users. Do you have anything from the last year or two? Or are you basing your comment on the article from 2012?
