Real nice excuse making.
Reality is that faux courtroom shows like Judge Judy are really just filler. Most people that are watching TV in that daypart will watch whatever is on whatever channel their favorite news cast is. Amazon vastly over paid for her show. Just like it vastly over paid for the NFL, which it has given out millions of dollars worth of make goods for.
Reality also is that getting ratings for streaming services is pretty rare. They, unlike linear TV, never really tell you how many are watching a particular show. Because it is so small a number.
