After all, all they have to do is pass the costs onto consumers anyway – lets face it, they’ve been paying enough all these years already.

And what price do you think they put on killing their only potentially viable competitor, or ensuring none can arise? Quite a lot I would imagine. A few nuisance lawsuits are quite a small price to pay.
