Why would it be strange for two companies in different patent cases to both have the same #1 patent firm in the country and not be helping each other?

Because Microsoft is probably smart and rather then buying out Acacia.. they can contribute to HomeGrown defense, invalidate the patent and rest easy. It's pretty obvious that Acacia planned on going after the big guys after picking up steam on the little guys.
The bigger question is why would Microsoft NOT help ?
