“In general, your GOG account and GOG content is not transferable. However, if you can obtain a copy of a court order that specifically entitles someone to your GOG personal account, the digital content attached to it taking into account the EULAs of specific games within it, and that specifically refers to your GOG username or at least email address used to create such an account, we’d do our best to make it happen. We’re willing to handle such a situation and preserve your GOG library—but currently we can only do it with the help of the justice system.”
They have to do that anyway. Court orders overrule a company’s policies in most (all?) legal systems.

It’s legal speech for “we want to however if we straight out say we’re going to do it no studio is going to want to release games on our platform”
No, it is legal speech for “we think you want that and we think you are dumb enough to believe we can actually deliver that so lets give it a try to pretend we are doing that”.
