For the most part, no they can't sue. Many software licenses tend
to be long for a reason and at this length they carefully limit
responsibility of licensor for damages the software could cause.

Search them for "LIMITATION", "some states" and "may", or
have a look at how vague an instrument an EULA is.
You can't be a billion dollar company and not be pay a few
lawyers to draft a valid license for a handful of products,
can you? Oh, wait, that's upside down...
