I feel like all these giant legal teams have such incredible capabilities to push lawsuits however and wherever they want - it's honestly hard to just keep up with what is happening and why.
This article does a good job of explaining as Ars typically does. But every lawsuit we read about these days is so convoluted that I can't really understand it as much as I would like to.
Legal stuff is often complicated because life is complicated. That being said, there are some people who benefit from legal stuff being complicated, and I suspect they do what they can to make it as complicated as possible.
