Always watch the use of qualifiers like "complicated by" or "a desire to" in business-press answers, especially from movie and TV executives for whom "this was mentioned in a meeting by someone" is worth priceless face-saving P.R. cover day to day.

WB has been (and continues to be!) using "We ARENT forcing filmmakers to over-coordinated because Multiverse!" as a DC projects' selling point vs Disney/Marvel; they're doing two Batman and multiple Joker actors, etc - two Darkseids (one from a canceled directors cut)...
...would've been a non-issue and non-story. But obviously it's something that would've "COME UP" just in logistics, and now gossip-minded extrapolators on either end can imagine a scenario where their preferred version was getting "fought for" in some fashion.
(In reality, "NEW GODS" was an offbeat project that probably looked more do-able before the studio started tripping over it's own feet with almost every big pivot and being forced to eat a GIGANTIC upfront loss by AT&T to make this MAX launch work, and neither Darkseid continues)
P.S. and in case you forgot, sooner or later *someone* in the cast/crew of "people who need to work again" from #WonderWoman1984 is going to throw one or more of the others under the bus and start talking re: "Don't blame ME for #WonderWoman1984 being a huge disaster."
