Sony is already paying for use of a pool of patents.
Why design around them when you have use of them? Now they would have to pay royalties on each specific consumer product that uses them, but again, why spend extra engineering time and money to design around something you already have paid to use?

By the way, that Sony has licensed Ampex patents is disclosed in Sony's SEC filings.
