I’m not sure whether it was Leica or Zeiss, but a good 100 years ago German optics engineers transferred a good deal of know-how to the Japanese...well, we all know how that turned out.
Interestingly enough, today Panasonic uses Leica lenses and Sony's are made by Carl Zeiss.

True enough (my Korean LG mobile phone has a Schneider Kreuznach lens), but it’s a small market share over all. Same with home entertainment electronics (Grundig et al.).
