This has been addressed many times. The judge was saying from the point of view that the plaintiffs the contracts had value. And the judge said that the court would not opine on whether it agreed or not. The point being it was irrelevant because the secured creditors did not remotely support pursuing.
The context in which the judge addressed this after after the bankruptcy was closed, due to a shareholder, like yourself in disbelief over the outcome. The truth is, DURING the bankruptcy, when the bidders could bid on and buy whatever they wanted, nobody wanted the contracts you are referencing.
