It is quite funny an EU company patenting a software feature that is basically unpatentable in EU in the US.

Clearly this is an attempt to prevent similar patents from being weaponised against them in the US.

No one cares about such stuff in Europe.

Unfortunately patent offices are using loopholes that reintroduce software patents. Patent law says that a pure software patent is not possible, it has to be combined with a specific hardware application to make it an invention. So they fill in a patent for "XX implemented on a hardware operating on land, in the air, in space, on, or under water.". That's essentially a software patent.
