I think it's because the case hinged on the outcome, not on the practice itself. The suit alleged that Intel had "killed" AMD with this practice and brought them to the brink of bankruptcy. The issue is, Intel is getting their asses handed to them right now by AMD so the argument seems pretty hollow in 2022.
I am not saying this is good or bad, but that's the intuition behind the reversal I think.
EDIT: Please don't shoot the messenger, I am just offering a conjecture, I am not even European or American.
