If there was no success with DC Multiverse - there would be no Spawn figures right now. He wouldn't have the relationships with big retailers to get his stuff picked up otherwise.
I'm sure Mirrorverse came out of showing he can do that with a big IP. And that will further cement relationships with big box, aka volume. Bringing factory costs down, and allowing him to do Spawn and other things cheaper and get them picked up. Big circle.
I also don't see it as a step backwards - he's doing what he wants to do and making money with the DC brand. He's not just working for scraps for someone else, he's in control of his space and making coin. I would think that was the goal with Image and everything else he did early on.
That's my best guess. Or, just straight up - he likes money more than being a rebel, which is ok too.
