this is really no different than say buying say transmissions from ZF, or paying bosch for injectors.
If it makes it sound better, what if mercedes and BMW form a joint venture to make electric vehicle platforms that they will both be using.
There no reason to duplicate work that will more or less be the same and these smaller companies are not going to have the ability to compete with a VW that can spread the development costs over like 8 brands or whatever they have.
