I think there was a general pattern of people striking back against mass forced arbitration by saying "ok, that's fine, we'll all go to arbitration at once". And companies ended up having to foot the bill for hundreds or thousands of arbitration cases...
Newer arbitration clauses that I've seen now cover this scenario. Something like "If many identical cases come forward at the same time, you agree to combine your cases in a single arbitration action"
