This is internet speculation, but Judge Cote is (will be?) also presiding over some additional cases related to the anti-trust lawsuits (I think something by the DOJ and the state attorneys general, and some class action lawsuits), so all of these complaints about Cote and Bromwich could be an Apple tactic to go judge shopping by getting Cote removed from the case due to bias and overreach. I don't know if Apple would pay their lawyers for unlimited appeals unless they have reason to believe they might get something out of it.
