Yeah I can see how this will quickly devolve into some kind of epic legal battle and I am not a lawyer.

However that is not the point. As a consumer, wouldn't you like to see cost breakdown like this?

App purchase: $10.00

Direct intermediary total: 30%

Payment processor total: 0.15%

Government total: 8.25%

PS. Software Engine total: 5%

PS. Patent uses total: 5.63% [1]

This may mean forcing users to pay for a patent use, even in products which were initially free.
