Really showing two companies with two different approaches.
Baykar utilising the iterate fast hardware rich methodology while TAI utilises a lot of software to refine the product before going to hardware.
TAI was carrying out F-16 assembly and testing activities in the 1980s. Just 15 years ago, Baykar was just project team of a handful of idealist engineers. One is a huge state-owned company, a major supplier to the world's aerospace giants along with being main supplier of air force, the other 'was' an engineering company specializing in a much more niche field and growing with its own resources. (Things changed after Karabakh and Libya. In a way, became an alternative on NATO's eastern flank to the GA-ASI, a subsidiary of General Atomics.) Both company models offer significant advantages. The smaller one has more flexible project management and can pursue aggressive policies in its field. The other is more cumbersome but has a much larger total capacity and internal service areas.
Of course, the entire Turkish aviation industry benefits from this know-how, including Baykar. The reason for the actuators on KE's prototype is partly based on the reason you mentioned. Many things will change until the system reaches the operational level.
To draw an analogy from the US aviation industry, TAI is the Boeing of this country. Baykar, on the other hand, may be compared to Northop, which had lots of crazy engineers and designers once upon a time, in the next 10 years according to possible upcoming projects. The breakthrough they want to create in space technologies is an important detail.
