Ah yes you’re correct, I misread the Macrumors article, have fixed the post title

Comedic gold. Jon Prosser has always been a hack job who makes stuff up, gets butthurt when proven wrong, and then disappears until he conjures up more fake news. He’s also a terrible presenter and his videos are cringe. Ironic that the one time he’s right about something he also gets busted for breaking the law

This. Also lawyers are expensive, and hiring a team of experienced lawyers is even more so. A bean counter probably crunched the numbers and found it would be more cost effective to settle now than to fight it out/ run the risk of losing (in which case they may also have to pay for the plantiff’s legal fees)
