On the bright side, they're unlikely to see a penny from it, and have incurred lawyer costs and time.

    True. Hopefully they spent lots on outside law firms. They'll get paid unless they stupidly said they'll just take a cut of the damages, like injury firms do.

    It's likely already budgeted for, so if it wasn't used for this attack, it would have gone to another fruitless attack. It's how they do business these days. The money isn't important. It's keeping the illusion of risk to pirating and thus illusion of value of their product. Basically, part of their marketing budget.
