What's the difference if Apple gets $20B from Google and spends $1B to another company or just gets $19B from Google and doesn't spend nothing?

I suppose Apple is forcing Google to compete against itself. "Pay us less, or pay us more and we buy someone else’s model."

Also accounting optics means Apple can shows lower revenue but cleaner margins
