This is exactly what I said to my friend today as we were discussing it. The only times I've seen companies make a crazy move like this that will make them more money in the short term but screw themselves in the long term is when they're trying to sell the company. The new company won't care much about the bad publicity because they'll just come in after the sale and tome down some of the changes and suddenly everyone thinks they're the good guys.
I was reading a Forbes article on this mess today, and the writer speculated they were hoping to make bank from Genshin Impact, since it uses Unity.
