"Irreparable harm"...IF AND ONLY IF the case is decided in favor of the plaintiffs, and there is determined to be harm from the behavior. Neither of which has actually occurred yet. All the judge has done is to decree that: a) her opinion is that the plaintiffs are "likely to" prevail, and b) you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube, so it makes sense to pause the behavior in question while trial is pending.
