    Yes, but they do it through subsidiaries. Smaller companies owned by the larger one. The vibrator would be branded by CompanyA. The train branded by CompanyB. Both A & B are owned by MegaCorp.

      yeah that’s exactly what I meant, I kinda assumed everyone does it and we just have this meme of japanese/korean companies doing it because they keep the overarching brand on all of it
