I know, they are the standard, and they do get the job done. People alway root for the underdogs, and its fun to poke jokes at the big three, but the truth is, they are what they are because they are the best. And we all know it.
Only for sufficiently warped values of "best". IMO all three leaders are excellent examples of "'Good enough' is the enemy of 'better'." Microsoft in particular is a triumph of hype over substance.

Cap'n Q
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
