I would assume that those assets would be valuable and the source could be sold to an interested party such as Microsoft. Even if the companies ceased to exist, it's unlikely the assets would.
Android itself is sharded and open sourced, so there is almost no risk for android I would assume.
For such a large piece of infrastructure, the government bailing out with money is possible as well.
When a bank fails it's because it has more liability than assets which then forces the assets to be fire-sold and a loss to be realized which then causes a run on the bank, which forces more assets to be fire-sold etc. Other banks take on the both the assets and liability which can then put them at risk of failing. Too big to fail means that nobody can acquire their assets and liabilities because they are too big.
That's my probably naive, probably wrong understanding anyway.
