Eh, more the opposite, based on some of Wotcs actions they seem to have good intentions, it is just hard to tell from malicious intent as it is sufficiently advanced incompetence. Like say, they probably thought the morality clause was a selling point to us, which would explain why it was abandoned so quickly.
Er, the hypothetical break down
- Royalties, probably seeing what they could get away with
- the closing loopholes for the digital and competition game stuff, probably the primary goal
- morality clause, non-goal, consideration for the community to be more accepting of the changes

The Royalties went first, because they were met with vitriol. Then the morality clause got ire, and since that was the selling point of the contract to us, Wotc panics and drops the whole idea. Even the move to the CC, not what people were asking for, and comes off as an almost comical overreaction.
"You like the OGL and want to keep it, how about we also give you a bunch more access and future proof it from us revoking it."
"Well, the OGL was fine, but that's cool, I guess"
