I'm actually going to defend MGM here. They are using the suit to seek a declaration that they are not liable for the actions of the shooter. Given the many lawsuits that have been filed against them, they are severing the issue of their liability from any other other collateral defendants (eg. gun makers, bump stock manufacturer, etc) and issues. It also allows the argument to be determined once instead of having to argue it dozens of times with potentially variable results leading to endless appeals.
It's a sound legal strategy and is not anti-victim. It is, however, tremendously poor optics and they should have had a much better PR strategy.
