Huge companies used to make a lot of stuff back in the golden age of capitalism. General electric was a big chemicals and plastics company for instance. It was just normal.
Nowadays, those mega-corporations make more money acting as a bank than they do selling stuff. They've just kept some product lines rolling because they're profitable and safe.
You couldn't just start a motorcycle company and be competitive against Yamaha. The specific expertise they have took decades to build, so why waste it by closing down those weird branches when they're still making money.

I ended up watching a video which was an in depth analysis of Japanese culture from pre-shogun era to modern day and they went into detail about how alot of these Japanese mega corporations started and got to the size they are now.
For reasons I'm still confused about it was titled "why we kill gods in jrpgs" but I recommend it even if you're not a gamer.

iirc Yamaha was making mechanical parts in WW2, and that department survived after the war by switching to making motorcycles

Samsung is pretty cool like that. Need a TV? Samsung does it. Need a washer dryer set? Samsung. Need artillery? Believe it or not straight to Samsung.

I learned this fact from Vocaloid (yep the one with Hatsune Miku), which is also developed by Yamaha. They had a mechanical parts department during WW2, and it survived by switching to making motorcycles after the war.

Ich: I want some freshly ground coffee. Hey, Tchibo, do you offer this?
Tchibo: Of course! That's my primary business.
Ich: By the way, Tchibo, do you know someone who sells raincoats and underwear, but basically no other clothes?
Tchibo: Funny that you ask...

What's always been funny to me is that Yamaha also seems to have the cheapest and some of the most expensive stuff too. Look at (piano) keyboards for example.
-
They play all sides so they always come out on top
-
-
They also apparently make a digital saxophone and compound bow (as in archery) grips.
-
Yamaha makes audio products: Pianos, Speaker systems, motorcycles...

Ich: I want to get into cooking. What is some very basic recipe book for beginners?

Dr. Oetker: Here you go.
