The whole point of the suit is to insure the anti-discrimination ordinance doesn't apply to their revamped business model. Why should they drop it in favor of uncertainty?
But suppose they continue to do civil ceremonies...but just don't charge for them. Should they be forced to provide free civil ceremonies to gay couples?
Of course not; just like a kosher butcher doesn't have to sell pork.
If they carefully consider what they are selling, they will get 'acceptable' clientele.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
