They often do. At one time, Microsoft would pay for part of the cost
of the ad if it included a phrase like “«PC company» recommends
Microsoft®
Windows™”.
... we're hardly ever seeing <PC company> ad.s these days ...
They sponsor events to announce new products. And then you get a flurry
of “news” articles telling the ordinary people (you and me) about the
new GUI with the 3D effects (or lack of them) and the new
window-placement algorithm, or the “Liquid Glass” styling, or whatever.
The big-budget advertising is still there, never fear.
There is also the not too subtle product placement. It helps that Apple
laptops are very distinctive.
Dell has be advertising on Prime video as Amazon tries to figure out how
many ads they can push before the viewers give up and go elsewhere. I
think Dell has also shown up on PBS. They're not really ads; companies can
'sponsor' specific programs and get to show their blurbs before the
program begins. It was a neat end run around the no ads on public TV
clause.
