Which happens all the time in employment cases, because a successful outcome isn't necessarily defined as winning the case (assuming that the argument isn't completely-frivolous), but is often defined as creating leverage through uncertainty, and a benefit can even be found when the end result is just lengthy disruption and uncertainty.
Also happens all the time in cases challenging statutes. Just because something is a stretch doesn't mean that making the argument will not serve a purpose.
And when I say the devil is in the details, I'm assuming that we don't know what the actual arrangement will be. Suppose Amazon doesn't just make some arrangement for use of real estate. Suppose that DHL insists that it must provide certain personnel and services in conjunction with Amazon's use of its building and ramps -- which isn't too farfetched given that there are other stakeholders here, like insurers, and we don't know what DHL's contracts with its vendors provide. All of a sudden, maybe there is something there.
Again, I'm just spitballing, and you're probably right.
