They pay little of R & D costs, benefit fully from collaboration, and sell both the product and the services (especially the services) behind the product.

But, remember, these are not small start-ups. IBM has existed for 60 years or so, and Intel is the leader in the industry. They must derive some benefit to the bottom line or they wouldn’t be involved.
