It's not nearly the same.

But in many ways it is. At one point early in the 20th century, the UI for cars was wildly varied, and mostly nearly unusable. One company came up with the idea of having 3 pedals - clutch,brake,gas, and a gear shift lever. This company does not exist. If you take Apple's ideas about the patentability of design, this company should have been the only one making cars, since they created the best UI, which everyone copied.
