Why did McConnell cave on the filibuster?

According to this report, it's because Moscow Mitch knows the Dems don't have the votes to get rid of it anyway so it's moot.* This way the Turtle gets to keep the filibuster and Schumer gets all the blame from the progressive wing when his legislation cannot pass because he's in charge of the Senate now. Seems we're screwed either way. I hope Schumer has more up his sleeve in this war with the fascists.

* According to this report the Turtle got assurances from Senators Manchin and Sinema they would not vote to repeal it. It's time to primary them out.
