Just like how Apple branding isn't some amorphous magic that pervades its products? Or a movie maker's films somehow isn't more than the sum of a colored pixel grid flickering at 24 hz?

Qualcomm's patents are more about how the radios are used to transmit specific patterns of signals that better use the scarce common resource that is the electromagnetic spectrum. It is far more analogous to a very specific, very good and very popular song systematically written for each user being transmitted using the radios that has for example the benefit of benefit of allowing individual signals of being distinguished from each other with better total capacity as well. There are highly non-obvious aspects to Qualcomm's patents that make them truly brilliant inventions deserving of the royalty they charge, just as a good songs or movies command a higher premium to audiences.
