Because of lots of historical precedent that the US values it's relationship with SA over any principled objection to bad behavior on the part of SA? Obviously there are lines that couldn't be crossed, but SA believes this murder wasn't one of them.

Bezos was good buddies with MBS and then changed his mind. Seems like others could as well.

Posting about Bezos and MBS's relationship really triggers Amazon workers I suppose. Nothing like working for a homophobe in-waiting.
