It's like Microsoft on patents. Strengthening software patents will make it more vulnerable to patent trolls suing over MS products but it also makes their licensing play stronger. Weakening software patents will make it easy to defend against trolls but will weaken licensing as well.
So they have to walk a fine line, just like Google with net neutrality.
