For example, Apple began with a small open source project and created WebKit, a complete open-source HTML5 rendering engine that is the heart of the Safari web browser used in all our products.

It’s not just Firefox and it’s share of web users, much larger than the one of Safari, but also the fact that the Mozilla Foundation is very much involved in building (W3C) standards like HTML5 et similia. I can see that you used the word “Almost”, but that’s not a good start: Steve, let’s try to be more fair here.
