Idas (Era Lawyer) is speculating that it's a tactic by Microsoft to get the deal closed in January in the EU which in turn could put pressure on the CMA to do the same (in January) which would leave only the FTC which if they took Microsoft to court, they'd get slapped down anyway.

Lots of ifs though, if EC accepts the proposal and if that puts pressure on CMA. Nobody ever really doubted it passing in EC, but this is an attempt to speed up the timeframe, it's CMA who everyone is watching, Lol.
