I don't know why people are downvoting you - the tracks are clearly quite similar, more so than the average pair of tracks sharing a genre. Of course that doesn't justify the ruling, but it seems quite obvious to me than one is at least inspired by the other? People "copy" elements of other tracks all the time, as homages and as rip offs, in good faith and in bad faith. To identify this pair as one of those examples should be uncontroversial, and shouldn't be construed as an endorsement of the ruling. There are lots of big differences though, enough that I wouldn't call it a "rip off".

Because people prefer simple heuristics that allow them to make whatever claims of causation they want. This concept has literally infected our general political discourse in the United States. Everything has been boiled down to SAT style analogies that essentially accumulate to the point where large groups of people have moved the goal posts of political discourse from "finding common ground" to "burning and salting each others ground as somewhere only an obvious fool would choose to stand"
