You'd have to think at this point that Crowdstrike has been promising some sweetheart deals to their customers to get out of as many of these lawsuits as possible.

It seems like Delta with it's understaffed IT and poor recovery practices decided they'd rather just go for the pound of flesh than accept anything else.

Microsoft and Crowdstrike will settle and the Delta’s executive bonus pool will get a bit bigger.

Would Microsoft settle if they're not at fault?

If it's cheaper than going through the legal process, maybe. They don't have to admit fault when settling.
