This is a classic example of the ad hominem fallacy. Stating that "they are no angels" doesn't detract from whether they're right or capable of effecting positive legal change.
Frankly, I don't care if anyone makes a name for themselves for doing this. In fact, I applaud them and would happily give them recognition should they be successful.
Similarly, I'd hope that there are opportunties for profit in this space, given that I don't want cheap lawyers botching this case and setting terrible legal precedent for the rest of us. Microsoft has a billion dollar legal team and they will do everything they can to protect their bottom line.
