When Orlando papers did the math, they showed it will cost the tax jurisdictions more to provide the services than it cost to waive the taxes and let Disney provide them to itself. Further, Disney is far from the only private town with the same arrangement; it's how Florida does it all over the state any time there's a big enough planned development, because that saves the government money.
Republicans should love this, because it proves government services privatized can cost the tax payer less.
That narrative was inconvenient to "the right" so didn't get talked about much because then the entire thing would just look astonishingly petty. And "the left" didn't really want to have to talk about how it saves towns money to privatize services. So that whole angle, swept under the rug by 'both sides'.
UPDATE
After posting this, I just saw this in Financial Times:

Since FT is paywall, found a Reason link: https://reason.com/2022/12/02/is-florida-giving-up-its-fight...
But shhh...
Imagine a scenario where a corporation was talking anti-left stuff in a blue state. E.g. immigration, unions, etc. Would the people not be entitled to revoke their special privileges because they don't like what they are saying? This is the real test.
I'm actually not sure, but its interesting to flip the actors political affiliation to check for fairness.
As if a coffee company HQ'ed in Seattle, WA was going about and trying to do union busting.
Or how about a large logistics and e-commerce company HQ'ed in the Seattle and its union busting attempts.
Many of DeSantis’ politically motivated actions target counties/municipalities that overwhelmingly voted for a different candidate. The majority of “South Florida” is made up of diverse, densely populated, areas that lean slightly left of center. “North Florida” by comparison is sparsely populated and leans heavily right. Yet, for some reason the state government feels the need to consistently subvert the will of the people by preempting local governments and municipalities. Repeatedly overriding the will of the people in those areas.
In this case, it's clearly only an issue a state could deal with.

Do you have some examples?
It's amazing how things change. In the past the left would have been happy to see the removal of subsidies to mega corporations.
