It's not just about your need to sue, it's about some other startup's need to sue. If everybody ignored the restrictions on licenses you'd end up with an ecosystem entirely dominated by these lopsided terms.
Such an ecosystem can be extremely harmful to innovators. Say a new startup has an actual patentable idea and goes to create software around it. If 99% of all products are ecumbered by bad licenses they'll find it impossible to implement their software, or the cost of reimplementation will be too high.
These aggressive licenses have this negative effect of excluding future ventures from entering the market place, even if they aren't related to any of the original licensors markets.
