I don't think anybody changed their mind. Everybody just figured out that going to court wasn't going to do anything other than spend a lot of money on lawyers. Carlsen probably got about the best he could have expected--Chess.com and Niemann now have gigantic spotlights on them about cheating so they both have to behave better. Niemann gets to go back to being a chess expert. And Chess.com gets people to come back.
