They turned down other projects to work on these films, and are also getting shafted on the profits, whilst WW84 gave bonuses to Jenkins and Gadot based on if the film had made 1 billion dollars at the box office.
It's also worth pointing out that all the directors and crew (except for WW84) only found out about the HBOmax plans for their films in the news, WB didn't contact them to let them know, which is a pretty shitty thing to do and burned lots of bridges.
