I guess the point is that for Qualcomm in particular, the sale of securities is not a one-time event, and as revenues and royalties continue to grow, will become an even more important function of shareholder value.

Were QCOM to re-style itself as primarily an investment business, then it would be appropriate that gains and losses from the sale of securities would be included in their operating income. Assuming that they will remain primarily an IP and products business, one wants these excluded, even if they recur.
