Commodore had the in-house guys from MOS to do the work and developed thier own chips, Atari had also lots of arcade machine experiece to get their job done. Apple had color, but conparitively the Apple ][ actually had a pretty primitive color system (it didn't greatly improve until the 80 column board)
But of course the Apple II dates to 1977, 5 years before the C64 came out. That is a long time in home compter development.
