I thought this was the common complaint about settlements, which is why it confuses me that people are complaining in this case that the purpose of a civil court lawsuit is to extract the largest settlement. Example: "The legal system has certain informal but crucial checks and balances in it. One of them is that the cost and uncertainty of litigation make it in everyone's interest to settle, and in addition insurance creates incentives to settle. A third party purposely removing those incentives distorts the process." - CPLX P.S. No witchhunt being started CPLX, just confused by your position.
