The long term effect of this strategy will just make the backlog worse. It is
like coping with too many customers at a store by having a sale and lowering
prices.

A non-technical (political) reason for bad patents. As with all politics, it
deals with the wrong 'problem' in the wrong way, and creates a worse problem.
Isn't there a name for this, like Murphys Law?
Nonetheless, I hold to my theory that it's about the money.
