Limited time is the critical point here. First to file and 20 years is the world standard.
They do not promote progress in any form. Great, then the patentee has just wasted $10K on a pointless patent. Problem solved. If your patent is nothing you have nothing.

Patents are issued with a patent number, hence I can't see what your problem is in understanding what this means?
