Idk it depends on your reasons for the comparison. I believe they had monopolistic tendencies (as do both Google and Apple, so does Nintendo regarding its hardware as well) but the last time I checked they weren't nearly as focused on surveillance.

I mostly just mean there is a market right now for physical keyboards. That is the extent of depth I intended with this comment. I'm not educated enough in hardware markets to speak on Blackberrys place in them or their ethics.
