Is there an easy way to explain why this is true?

Unfortunately, no. Microsoft has a non-license for its patents, and they are also non-distributing SuSE. It's like the emperor's new clothes, they are not naked, but have some expensive invisible clothes on, which only lawyers can see. Therefore, it is by no ways clear it Microsoft is "conveying" the software, or if it's still Novell.
