The CMA still wants to look like they have some control of the situation, so they don't appear weak, that's why they've created this new deal with Microsoft that is worse than EU's deal instead of just taking the EUs deal because that would make the CMA look useless, why they went through the whole court process of "but this isn't us backtracking! It's a completely new merger agreement!" and so I would not be surprised at all if CMA saw the report that Microsoft was planning on closing on Friday and were like "not on our watch!" because they don't want it to look like Microsoft is in control, the CMA says when it can close.
