Funding and equipment are worthless unless you put them in the right hands (see government projects, for example, which get huge funding and then burn through it without useful results).
Also, Apple does a few other things right besides engineering: Understand which problems are worth solving. Pick problems that they are certain they can solve. Understand the users / customers enough to know what a good solution even looks like.

Non-SpaceX NASA using Russian engines was not a technical decision, it was to keep Russians busy enough to not sell out to NK/Iran. Stuff being sent all over the country and back again in Boeing, ULA, EADS, Airbus et al. is a waste of money but is to get the votes from politicians wanting pork.
