They are not ? Most of your references are more than a decade ago, (alongside Apple) compared to peers like Microsoft they are very much do not have acquisition culture .
Mandiant is only large acquisition in the last 10 years > $1B which is very small stakes in todays VC ecosystem.
Compare that to MS they have bought GitHub, LinkedIn, Activison, Nuance, Zenimax all well over $5B . Combined these alone is $100-120B, MS has also done plenty of mid budget buys too.
Even more B2B/traditional tech like IBM (redhat, Hashicorp etc) or salesforce have been more active too.
