Meta doesn't like judgements against Meta that would open them up to more scrutiny from legal institutions.

Meta has absolutely nothing to win in not complying with the legal request in that _specific case_. Meta never claimed to be the champion of anonymity, quite the contrary...
You need a few million and some vacations to ignore the law. $100k is just the initial fee and timeslot for potentially pulling out of said country (or do what Apple is doing with the UK)
