Look, the fact that these two companies happen to be be geographically located in resource-rich land is in no way a merit. Apple pretty much did a survey and struck the iPhone, which has been guzzling up ever since. Google bought some land from Herman J. Android and it turned out to have a large natural deposit of everything that has been coming up ever sense in the form of its mobile offering.

But make no mistake: if you had put a stick in the ground you would have seen the same result, provided you were as geologically fortunate as these two lucky suckers.
