I would't be surprised if the freak-out reaction to SpaceX being on the nasdaq100 and even being considered for the s&p500 was a strong factor in S&P saying no; if so than the histrionics were worth it.

I would. I know some of the people. And NASDAQ 100-tracking funds have seen inflows, not outflows, as a result of the flip.
S&P management wanted the flip. The econometricians said no, because they're that sort of folk. The influencers get to entertain and drive some fraction of listeners to churn, which I guess keeps the ecosystem fed through commissions and management fees.
