>I assume they must've had solid facts to act on
If anything, the facts should have warned them against this. Oversaturating the market with increasingly watered down content, trying to make every random d-tier character a viable IP, invoking multiverse and time travel related magic asspulls that render everything pointless because there's no more rules or permanent outcomes, and replacing every iconic character with a wokeslop version is how the comic industry murdered itself. And they looked at the wreckage of the comic industry and said, "we're going to do that but to something much more valuable"
If you have irrefutable proof that your target demographic hates the things you're planning to do, and then you insist on doing them anyway...well, then you'd be modern Disney, who bought the 2 most valuable franchises in film history and strangled the life out of both in less than 10 years

The DCEU's second half is the most inexplicable period of mismanagement any major media company has ever had. They attempted to cash in on every IP they had....except Batman and Superman. Harley Quinn got more solo films than Affleck's Batman did. They put Cavill's Superman in the doghouse but greenlit a Suicide Squad reboot after one film. They dragged their heels on the Aquaman sequel but didn't hesitate to make Shazam 2.
They eventually did make a Batman movie....and it had nothing to do with their extended universe that desperately needed a hit and instead was essentially a competing product because Affleck was also still Batman. And now they don't know what to do with it because it doesn't fit with their new plan either. The biggest success of their entire tenure was Joker and that was a film they had so little confidence in they gave away some of the profits because they didn't think there would be any. Even their successes were partial failures. They literally did everything wrong every step of the way. It's like Snyder was the only sane person at any level of the executive branch.
