Because they're a high-profit, well-established industry that doesn't need a leg up?

The same could be said about many companies and industries ...

After all, why should Apple and Microsoft have access to these subsidies and not oil companies?

They shouldn't.

Subsidies need to help out the kind of companies that could be self-sufficiently viable in the future, but aren't now, due to the inherent adversities in being an emerging industry, or in the face of some temporary shock. They shouldn't be effectively permanent (like the corn and oil subsidies), and shouldn't go to groups that can already stand on their own two feet, nor should they go to companies that really don't have a future (so, unlike what you said before, green energy is a viable target, they just need to be choosier about it)
