No they don’t. They ship off their designs to a contract fab, same as
everybody else.

You just don’t do it. It confuses the customer. Think of how budget
airlines are run: many of them are in fact owned by regular-service
airlines. Maintaining a separate brand ensures that the customer is
clear where they have to go to get a budget no-frills service versus a
with-regular-frills service.

Once that rule is broken, it can take a long time to fix.
