It makes 0 sense from the perspective of the business of making and selling a whole ton of great games and making oodles of money on them. It makes lots of sense from the perspective of the business of abusing a corrupt legal system to bully, coerce, and destroy small studios.
It's pretty obvious that large corporations will only make money via producing actual value if they have absolutely no other choice. Give them the possibility of making money without having to actually produce anything, via corruption, rent-seeking, bullying, monopolies, and the like, and they absolutely will do that instead (or at the very least, in addition).
