A lot of material is bought in, and made where the rules are less lax,
or folks work around the rules to get the results they want.

Apple were notoriously good at this, almost everyone in the movies uses
Apple laptops even though it is only rich pharmacists who own them in
the real world ;)

It doesn't hurt that Apples products are generally very easily
recognisable. If you make a laptop but a big colourful logo on it!
