I wonder why Nintendo is giving the refund and not Warner Bros.

because nintendo is the platform owner.

consumer purchases DLC on eshop => nintendo give money to publisher => publisher is paid.

..so logically, if a refund is to be distributed.

publisher gives money to nintendo => nintendo gives money to consumer => consumer is refunded.

 

what else could happen?   it's not like WB was going to cut personal checks and mail them to peoples homes.  at no point have you ever made a direct transaction with a 3rd party publisher.  whether on eshop/psn/xbl or at brick and morter you are dealing with the distributor.   this is absolutely no different than a store like target or best buy paying my refund when i choose to return a product created by company X, Y, or Z.

Makes sense, thanks for clarifying!
