I think it's reasonable to suppose that Apple is using or wants to use Samsung as a proxy for Google. If the violations are obvious, then it's a good way to get a judgement on record, to grease the slippery slope a little. If you're Apple, you don't want to charge up against google straight off, you want to build up a set of rulings that you can point to when you do go after them.
