It seems to me the reason for insisting on a verbose declaritivization of everything is obvious: it guarantees you can build run/traintime environments which scale your model automatically. Google’s mindset isn’t “train this model to m

The great profit margins tend to be in branding though, not OEM work. This is a huge hurdle Taiwan's industries in general have to overcome (HTC and Foxconn are Taiwanese), and probably part of the reason Foxconn bought Sharp.
