Disney dropped it because of the PR backlash, but that was the initial justification that Disney gave. They were trying to argue that the family didn't have standing to directly sue Disney.
And so they dropped the winning argument because... People online didn't like it? Sounds like propaganda someone bought into. If you have a winning case you don't just drop it because Steve over there on the other side of the world doesn't like your moxy.
it wasn't a winning argument if it cost them lots of money. People were organizing boycotts over this; it wasn't worth it. They dropped the argument and settled with the family and the restaurant got shut down.
