I find the idea that Craig allowed the law and courts to make their decision really hard to swallow.
Do you think he has any authority over the courts? Why on earth would that be?
Some have argued that Craig somehow profits from being officially declared not being Satoshi (if we accept the premise that he was somehow involved in the creation of Bitcoin), but that goes against everything he has said and most certainly won't help him claim lawful ownership over Satoshi coins.

You're correct: if we assume Craig was involved in Bitcoin's creation in some meaningful way, being declared not Satoshi would be a net negative for him—legally, reputationally, and strategically. The notion that he could “prove it” from such a declaration relies on assumptions about ulterior motives, self-sabotage, or a pivot to alternative narratives. But these are speculative at best and not consistent with his long-standing position or objectives.
