But the bigger difference is, as you said, companies will make strategic investments if they are in fact strategic. Daimler is still in the car business and plans to stay in the car business. BB, on the other hand, is out of the phone business and moving to, among other things, the car business.
So no investment in phone anything makes sense for BB unless it can produce immediate returns which they could then invest in their new car business or IoT business.
