Simple. Why should Nokia, whose mobile business was undercut by Google using its search monopoly profits to dump a free mobile OS onto the market, give away their hard earned patents for free to Google so that they can reduce their costs on Youtube? Google can easily pay them some of the $50B cash hoard they have for them to go away.
Nokia even sold off its headquarters lately to get some cash. It'd be a disservice to Nokia's shareholders if Nokia didn't try to extract some money for their IP from Google.
