Your premise is absurd. Microsoft has the ActiveSync protocol patented to hell and back, and charges exorbitant licensing fees for its use. They're currently suing Motorola (a Google subsidiary) over exactly this.

Because, I don't see any reason to get pissed at Google for not letting Microsoft continue to soak them on this.
