Legal cases are often based on BS, really an open form of extortion. The plaintiffs might've been hoping for a settlement. Meta could pay $xM+ to defend itself. Maybe they thought Meta would be happy to pay them $yM to go away. The reality is, there's very little Meta couldn't just find a freely available substitute for if it had to, it might just take a little more digging on their end. The idea that any one individual or small group is so valuable that can hold back LLMs by themselves is ridiculous. But you'll find no end to people vain enough to believe themselves that important.
