Sharded componets were only some transaxels and a transmission from a previous e class for the new large chrysler sedans and dodge sedans. Look at sprint and nextel... sprint till has not switched over iden to cdma, wimax, or lte and now only talking about some intergration. Now sprint needs to merge boost mobile and virgin and other prepaids sprint owns into one named virgin or boost....

But see there is a difference..you are talking about integration of competitors..not compliments..Motorola does not compete with Google..
Also Google does not care much about motorola as a company..if they cut even Google will be happy enough...they bought them for the patents and to get their hands wet in the game..as people were claiming how Google is abandoning their partners..now Google can be sued directly and defend their partners directly..
I don't remember Motorola's profit margins but Samsung reported ~20% profit margins..(rounding)..They make MUCH more money off adsense and the google services like the market...so Google cares more where there is more money...Making motrola have an advantage will result in overall LESS profit..
Google makes money off any phone that has access to the internet and Google services...the reason why they created Android was to give average people open access to the internet..because statistically speaking, if you use the internet you most likely use Google..people choosing Android over any other internet enabled phone is just an extra plus.
