Apache 2.0 has similar patent language as GPLv3, and is the current bigcorp favourite open source license, so I'm not sure that's correct. Or am I missing something?

This is true, however I think that the perceived "viral" nature of the GPL gives the impression that patent invalidation can easily spread around to proprietary projects as well.
