Isn’t it more complicated than this and impossible for us to speculate on?
CG is currently working on this game and at least one other game that hasn’t been released yet.
We have no idea what the contract looks like between EA/CG and Disney/LucasFilm. Maybe some do, I definitely don’t and haven’t seen anyone ever post about it.
As fun as they make it sound to work there, I imagine a very lucrative deal was struck.
You say it's impossible to speculate, then you speculate.
You are free to imagine the deal involves a vault full of gold doubloons for CG to swim around in, but that doesn't make it a reasonable imagining.
People love throwing around unsourced arbitrarily large numbers and then leap to the non sequitur of, "Therefore CG is in the wrong for not implementing this specific project that I am personally invested in."
The games industry is not in a great state. Studios are folding and getting bought out in the wake of even fairly successful projects all the time because of the very large expense and risk of modern gaming projects. Star Wars is a more stable IP than most, but that's not a silver bullet. Star Wars Commander is closing down in about a month and a half, and Star Wars Force Arena flopped.
As imaginings go, "CG is making enough money to keep the studio healthy as long as they keep generating marketable content," is a more reasonable bit of speculation than, "CG is making such an arbitrarily large amount of money that it is offensive for them to base a decision off of concerns over expenses."
