I'm curious why this space hasn't been patented to death.

It has been. All sides have a pile of patents. All sides violate all the other sides’ patents. If anyone sues, everyone goes out of business.

This is the system working as currently intended. No matter what happens, the lawyers get will rich.

If a small company comes in and doesn’t pay the lawyers, it’ll get sued for violating the patents.

This assumes the small company isn't just in it for the patents.
