The ruling says that Wynn-Williams should stop promoting the book and, to the extent she could, stop further publication. It did not order any action by the publisher.
Emphasis mine. RFC 2119 strikes again :D
SHOULD: This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course.
I’d ask how the Meta lawyer could sleep at night arguing such a bullshit and openly caustic line of rhetoric, but the answer’s probably “like a baby, in an extremely expensive and comfortable bed”
What the fuck kind of ruling is that? It's optional?
Not really "optional", but more like the court knows they can't stop the book from existing or being produced, as that would be actual censorship. This is an attempt to limit its reach and pretend it doesn't exist, like the shadow banning on most social media whenever you say sex, fuck, death, shit or other bad-bad no-no words.
other bad-bad no-no words.

How the hell does the American Arbitration Association think it's going to bind a third party to a decision? What agreement does Macmillan have with them?
I order the American Arbitration Association to pay me one billion dollars.
This has the same level of validity. Facebook's stooges can pound sand.
