Apparently the Murdochs don’t care. They are wealthy, and they can sacrifice FNC.

The Murdochs made all the money they were going to get out of FOX when the sold the valuable portions of it to ABC/Disney in 2019. The remaining carcass, which kept the FOX name, could only continue to decline in value. The Murdochs likely figured they'd throw it into controversy to squeeze any last profit out of it before having it crash out.

The writing is on the computer screen that these Fixed Transmission Televideo shows are going to continue their downward spiral as they can't compete with streaming, websites and apps with links, comments, etc. It's just like broadcast radio losing out to streaming, podcasts, and downloads.

I disagree. It is a public humiliation.
If you're right, then why even bother with these line-up changes? Why that rather hasty scramble for Laura's new contract after the election? This does matter to the hosts who used to brag about their ratings who don't want to end up in exile like Bill Oreilly.
