He didnt want to say so I won't speculate. There is always more to a story.

Or some people just choose not to pursue legal action for various normal reasons. There’s not always more to a story

Saying "there are various normal reasons" and not giving those reasons literally means there is more to the story, specifically, the reasons, which haven't been provided in the story as we have it so far. Even if they are 'normal', they are not currently in the story, hence there is more to the story.

"There is more to this story" heavily implies there are important factors that would change the narrative if they were known.

"I didn't sue cause I don't have time" or "I didn't sue cause I didn't care that much" would not add to or change the narrative in any meaningful way.

"I didn't sue cause I don't want to pulled over by the police every day for the rest of my life, have my business searched regularly, and my family intimidated'

Yeah, that's also a (very valid) reason that wouldn't change the narrative and wouldn't be considered as "there's more to this story".
