There's also the idea of cognitive bias. In other words there would be alternative reasons Mr. Mueller would be interested in Google's failing. You could extend that to Apple v. Samsung, where the issue is Android based phones, Android being a Google product. Microsoft v. Motorola, wherein Mr. Mueller exclusively equates Motorola as Google following Google's stock buyout of Motorola.

There's anecdotal evidence Mr. Mueller's involvement with Microsoft entails opposition to Google as well (e.g. The Story Behind ShopCity And Its Antitrust Complaint Against Google). The common thread is opposing Google, whose services (Google+, FOSS Patents blog, Gmail,...) he uses. It may not even be personal, rather a useful position for earning income.
