The reason the owners continue to not budge much is that historically, the public has held "millionaires who get to play a game for a living" responsible and for some reason give the billionaires who own the teams a free pass. And of course, the owners have other billionaire revenue streams to keep them in the money and the players do not.
So, the owners have very little incentive to do anything other than wait for the monetary and public pressure to build on the players. Sure, you'd like a good working relationship, but every time this happens, the games go on as usual regardless of how much animosity there is after it's over.
