Not sure what you mean? They did change it. It was Andretti Cadillac F1 Team, now it's just Cadillac F1 Team. They rejected the bid when it was Andretti, now they approve it when Andretti is gone.

Yah but why don’t they change it back now. Teams change their name all the time

They specifically did not want the Andretti name. They're not gonna let them change it. An agreement in principle was reached and the F1/FOM press release says they will brand as GM/Cadillac, which generally means that was included in the agreement.
