Samsung is like what happens if Microsoft Office, Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Xbox, and all of these divisions were actually separate companies with a very loose federation underneath the name "Microsoft" even though the real "Microsoft" doesn't have much power over any of the individual members.
As a result, you've got Samsung Display putting screens in iPhones and occasionally screwing over Samsung Electronics which is a completely separate company, that is still within the loose federation (and, due to the unusual legal structure and antitrust concerns, Samsung Display can't offer even the slightest of unfair deals to their own Samsung Electronics group, for example). And on the fringe ends you have Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Skyscraper Construction, and Samsung Medical.
