A perfect recreation of the Enterprise-D in an "Experience" that you just walk around, would probably not have been a problem for CBS if that's all it was ever going to be used for. I think the problem for CBS was that anyone could take the model and assets and turn it into either a game, or use it for CGI to place behind actors filmed in front of green-screens.
Now you could argue they could have waited till somebody did that and then tell them to stop, but with such a high quality model available it would make a game or film so much easier and cheaper to produce that they could likely see several projects using it, and have to fight several legal battles to stop them.
If they kill this now, they don't have to worry about that possibility.
