You will not often get me to agree with the NY Post, but this is that one time:

Disney is trying to get a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the husband of a doctor who died because of a food allergy (after staff were warned repeatedly) tossed — because he signed up for the Disney+ streaming service years earlier, which included an arbitration agreement.

It’s preposterous but when it (hopefully) gets thrown out it’ll set a precedent that’ll defang these arbitration clauses in some way.
