Because they realize that if you give patents like this to certain companies it kills advances in technology, and puts the power in the hands of a select few money hungry companies to completely dominate the market.

Actually if you read the actual patent filing, it is not vague at all. While htc, google and the rest were sleeping, Apple patented this stuff, anyone could have done it, them, you , me, but we did not and they did. If android is so good, it will come up with something better, no? who is stopping anyone from inventing something new and better? No one, thats who.
Of course this means 2.1 updates for android htc phones may be put on hold for a long time.....
