McDonald's and Burger King both sell burgers, and sure, the meet and buns are interchangeable, but they don't like the competition.
Yes. Computer and software companies have patents and copyrights on their products and have licencing agreements with each other, so not all software or hardware are interchangable. Just like a restaurant won't let you bring food in from another joint and eat it out in the open.
I am not saying it is impossible to make the changes you want, but if you can't then one reason may be because of what I said above.
