Is there something different about LG's approach to mobile products that doomed them beforehand? Or perhaps the market for high end smartphones will not bear more than two or three big players? Could LG's downfall have to do with this company not having access to a full technology stack (including in hose chip design and manufacturing)? I used to like the G-series LG phones, but I hated that they were sold only as carrier-branded versions in the US.

LG really didn't make much "high end", most their phones were competing with cheaper chinese brands.
phones just one division, LG itself is still making serious coin in other electronics, appliances, chemicals, batteries and etc.
