I don't claim to understand all the nuances of this legal situation, but I can perceive one thing: both sides were losing. DeSantis lost considerable political clout nationally once he realized the fight with Disney was not popular beyond the extreme right. He assumed people in the state and beyond largely saw Disney as this woke organization that has abused their power for too long. He couldn't separate corporate Disney from DisneyWorld, something he sort of alluded to with the Burbank vs. Orlando statement. So he's decided to pivot to "DisneyWorld Savior", the man who will assume credit for spurring economic growth through park development, although it was already in play before now. As for Disney, they lost the early momentum from the unjustified RCID coup, and their protracted legal fight was getting to be perceived as stubborn, particularly after DeSantis dropped out of the presidential race. Ultimately neither side got what they want from this, other than to just get out of it.
