Yes I agree in that there is a non-trivial intellectual effort to create an interface and that there are many things that are copyrightable which takes less effort. I think you create something tangible when you create an interface, perhaps comparable with a poem. I can certainly see it is "better for the world" if the court rules in Google's favour, but I will not be the least surprised if it does not.
