All 5G devices makers must implement Qualcomm's standard essential patents (aka, SEP). And there are many leading 5G patent holders like Qualcomm, Nokia, Huawei, etc -- they are in turn required to license them a fair, reasonable and non-discrimintory manner (aka, FRAND) to all "willing" licensees. This lawsuit by FTC was largely concocted by Apple's multiyear efforts to pay as little as possible for Qualcomm's wireless invention (royalty) and save their bottomline -- with Apple repeatedly on the losing side not only against Qualcomm, but also every other wireless patent holders like Nokia, Ericsson, etc..
