So, you are going to argue about “transistor count” in order to give your argument some validity?

Fact is that, transistor count is irrelevant to either MS or Apple or Google. What counts is the product or products that can be made with those transistors. Intel and ARM are the designers of architectures, and of transistors. Apple can specify their needs, and so does Google and Microsoft. What one gets, the others also get. The problem then lies in execution, and when it comes to execution, Microsoft has been proven to be the best. Proof? The number of devices and OSe and applications and services in which Microsoft is the major player. Google is a major player in search; Apple is a major player in smartphones; Microsoft is a major player in just about everything. Winner? Not Apple. Not Google. It’s: you guessed it: Microsoft.

And, hey, I’m just being realistic. I don’t own MS stock; I also don’t own Google or Apple stock. But, if I was “forced” to own stock in any of them, I’d most certainly go with MS for the long-run.
