You need to take your blinkers off. The 750 pages of court submissions in that link on the Verge actually answer all your supposed confusions. Seriously. The whole "technical inferiority" angle is discussed as having been invented as a way for Motorola to break off the Skyhook deal. Skyhook pass the CTS in 2009 when Google aren't paying attention but then fail when it's strategically difficult. Basically "compatibility" is not technical at all, and entirely down to compatibility with Google strategic objectives. As Motorola quite rightly observe. "And indeed, Skyhook ran headlong into Motorola's dependence on Google: Motorola flat-out told Skyhook that Android devices are "approved essentially at Google's discretion," and that Moto couldn't afford to risk its relationship with Google." The key point behind the Skyhook case was that it impacted their ability to do the WiFi slurping, again, as discussed at length on that link.
