Yes, unless there is something legally binding, even in the face of bankruptcy, to keep a patent defensive, all justification of patents as defensive is BS. Every company eventually goes out of business. When that happens, they tend to sell their assets, which includes "defensive" patents. Calling a patent defensive would be like calling a gun defensive. Your use may be defensive, but the item itself is not defensive.
