Yeah, that's what I've been saying also. They have to at least partly act like a "strong man" to their own people, or else they lose credibility and people suspect that they compromised. This way they compromise, but Tucho/Prevost will play along here and scold them sternly, etc. ... since they know he's useless to them in terms of leading people to the Conciliar Church if he loses his folowing. Yet they won't go so far as to lose the Leftists, probably over 50% of SSPX now. I've long suspected that one of the reasons they undertook these idiotically imprudent building projects is so that they're forced to "offend" no more people than is absolutely necessary, since they are stretched so thin trying to make these payments that even a 10% drop in attendance would prove financially catastrophic, unless of course Jaidhof / Krah come to the rescue, but of course there will be a price for such rescue.
We see it in politics all the time, where in the cigar-smoke-filled back rooms they strike a deal but then each side goes home and saves face, with a nod-nod-wink-wink to their counter-party, both of them realizing they're just hamming it up for domestic consumption.
