A big point seems to be that people buy neither an iPhone nor a Galaxy Nexus specifically for their search abilities, regardless of how much Apple wanted to advertise Siri in court.

I agree.
Assume infringement of something, lets say a patented chemical in particular competitors dog food.
If the court claims it is not a 'causal nexus' (people don't buy the dog food for the chemical), and that if preventing the competitor from selling the dogfood was not appropriate (no causal nexus) then I guess the remaining "relief" would be entirely monetary?
If the infringement continued after a finding, maybe it would become willful at some point meaning higher fines?

I don't see how this portion of your comment is relevant.
