Funny thing is, both companies do exactly this to operate in China. The government does not allow companies to run their own app stores, so Apple and Google (and others who have similar kinds of online stores) have to hand over all operations – including app submission, storage, approvals, install etc. to another local government-approved company completely outside their control. They do all this willingly because they have to, and you don't hear a peep about it from them as they fight other governments worldwide who are trying to enforce even the slightest amount of control of their own.
