Apple and Microsoft and joining to sue Google with FRAND patents, that they bought from other companies, and people will like Google less because of it?

Is that how the patent system is supposed to work, or are Apple and Microsoft abusing it to the extreme?

These aren't frand patents. And even if they are found to be, they are still entitled to a /reasonable/ license fee.
