Democrats haven't changed their minds about Voter ID. They're just grudgingly admitting that they haven't been able to trick or intimidate the American people out of supporting it. Tactics are shifting, but the goal of rigging elections forever remains.

Dems console themselves with the knowledge that Voter ID is another government program they can subvert, another bureaucracy they'll be able to capture and corrupt over time. They'll grudgingly, bitterly give a little ground on Voter ID to get other concessions they want.
The original plan to replace the American electorate through mass migration is still very much in play and picking up steam. Voter ID won't matter much, once the migrant waves are legalized or some farcical "voter ID for undocumented Americans" is cooked up.
Other Dem schemes to weaken the ballot, like permanent mass mail-in voting, will only be slightly damaged by Voter ID, and only until the program can be captured. Dems hate Voter ID because it scuttles a lot of their small-time ballot hustles, but the big stuff will be OK.
Giving up on the battle against Voter ID is a major setback for Dems, one of the biggest tactical retreats they've been forced to make in years. It would be a LOT worse if they couldn't count on the media to scrub all the crazy bullshit lies and smears they've used against it.
But they've concluded sticking to their agenda would be worse, because American support for Voter ID is so stubbornly high. It risks merging with trends like the backlash against CRT to become a grassroots rebellion the GOP could capitalize on, especially leaders like DeSantis.
It has to be making Dems a little nervous that the GOP is developing leaders who aren't afraid to use populism effectively - who can have a field day pointing out that Dems bitterly oppose policies with 60-80% public support despite all-out Dem media war against them. /end
