Because the FUD is more valuable.
See, if they point at say, "That's ours." it will disappear. And they

However, if they can say "Linux has an unspecified liability." they can
bully some downstream businesses. They can rattle the legal sabers and
threaten combined with a big discount. If you're a medium-sized
business, you'll just punt with Microsoft for a couple more years and
let somebody else fight the battle.
