"Those from big companies in the US and other countries eagerly awaited publication news every Thursday so they could mine those published applications for new ideas to write blocking patents of thier own."

I don't know if you will get this or not... but...

IMO....that is the reason to have a sophisticated collection of "common specifications" in front of proposed cumulative details. This collection must pass the test under patent prosecution and now IPR.....however, once past, it's the anchor for all other details not specifically published as prior art. By specifically, I mean patents that harbor ability under BRI or ordinary meanings not specifically spelling out a detail....e.Digital can specifically create multiple patents of specific details with the common specifications in front of them.

The common specification becomes hardened to an un plagerizable condition that others can not simply write blocking patents for proposed details.

I feel there is a blocking action built into the platform by way of key common specifications....which are themselves patented. The common specification then stays current to the last patent .

The procedure of IPR would have hardened the common specifications....

FWIW
