Because if they did it without one, anyone could do it.
If they get the patent, even if they don’t do it, anyone who does have to pay them.
Video games and TVs are different enough devices

I think givesomefucks is more explaining than defending the process in their comment.
The term you are looking for is “trolling” and legally protected doing it, get fucked pedons
I’ll never understand why trolls make a new account referencing the banned one, makes it easy to block at least
