?h? I don't understand what you're getting at. Granted, Apple made Ethernet
adaptors too, but that didn't prevent several other companies from
specialising in that business, just like others specialised in graphic cards.

Unless... you're thinking of an AAUI transceiver. In that case, there are
several explanations; 1) there was a need for such transceivers, and 2) some
third-party cards used AAUI as well, and it wouldn't look good if it came with
an Apple transceiver, would it?
