You lost me at the last paragraph (otherwise a really nice argument). Launching into a tirade against Viagra ads doesn't do much for your case IMO. I suppose making a multi-billion dollar bid for relevant smartphone-related patents isn't doing enough for your partners? Google never really tried to "make" these phones. You could argue that Samsung, HTC, et al. "fell for it" without realizing all the legal ramifications riddling the platform now that they're fully invested in it. However, while I'm sure Google didn't buy Android based on altruistic impulse, you make them out as a villain straight out of a James Bond movie, "we'll create a 'open' mobile OS based on Linux to sell more Viagra ads. mwahhaha".

Provided these patent claims are valid and honored, from this point on the only end game I can see is the big platform companies racing to acquire more and more obscure patents to play a game of chicken, until they reach a point of mutually assured destruction of "you can't make phones, I can't make phones so there".
