There’s no doubt HC could be better at public “spin”, but I’m trying to understand the real level of maliciousness to their actions.

Maybe in those types of cases. But no, not normally for settlements in general. It’s usually just a term that no one admits liability. But my point is that if HC settled for themselves and not the players, no NDA would really be needed.
