You don't want to spend time and money to fight with a $350B company.

If that's your logic they can make you do anything they like. They can ask you for $100m "because I said so" and you'll comply to avoid spending $200m on lawyers.

Usually it doesn't take $200m to prove that "because I said so" isn't a valid claim of damages.

But otherwise, you've got the math right. Settling is typically advised when the cost to litigate is expected to be more than the cost to settle.
