How many times did Google threaten small companies under seal with its patent portifolio?

If you don't know this number, the one you pointed out is basically useless.

Do you know that number? I have yet to hear a single instance or even rumor of that happening. Your post is the first time I've even seen it mentioned. Do you have any proof to back it up? When you make bold claims like that, I think the onus is on you to back it up.

I am not aware of them ever doing that. There is only two cases where there has been any IP aspect that I am aware of?

One started by Moto before them purchasing and the other the Waymo trade secrets case with Uber.

Google has purchased tons of patents but they use for cross license and NOT for royalities.

Are you confusing Google and Microsoft? MS does use their patents for royalities and perfect example is getting more per Android phone sold from royalities than Google gets.
