Tell me a large company other than Apple that wasn't completely dysfunctional.

Google was doing quite well?
Doing well and being dysfunctional are not mutually exclusive. Google is still a dysfunctional company.
At one point they had five different messaging apps. They bought Motorola and then sold it for pennies, quickly abandoned the Nexus line before then, and the Pixel isn’t taking the world by storm.
Their efforts in the home have been scattershot, they have three separate OS initiatives that are not based on the same platform, and have all but abandoned Flutter.
Also remember that RIMs stock price was at its peak around 2010 - 3 years after the iPhone came out.
maybe it can be argued that it was a lot less dysfunctional way back in 2007

I work with Google and dysfunctional is too kind.
Definitely not the Apple of 10 years before.
