Forced arbitration tends to backfire massively when you have something of this scale because of everyone starts doing it. The cost of that forced arbitration is more than what the lawsuits would have been without it. It's a big reason why like steam got rid of it. If you get too many people trying to go after you, it's just not worth it and costs too much.
And US courts allow companies to reverse force abortion if it no longer suits the company!
