While I agree with you generally. MS, Apple, Oracle, HP, IBM or any personal computer or server related business would either not be as successful or their product as widely used if there was no internet.
IE. Imagine a personal computer market with no way for computers to communicate with each other, would users be still buying computers as much as they do now or would it be just a small niche market?
Even though there are several big players whose business model depends quite a bit on the internet, yet no other tech companies does as much as to improve the internet as Google does. The icing on the cake is that Google opens up and shares most of these projects to everyone for free.
