Of course this movie is about preserving IP. The rights were gonna revert to Marvel, so Fox had to put out a movie. It's not the first time this has happened with the FF, and that's even what happened with the Spidey reboot. Now, it doesn't mean the movie has to suck, but it's certainly why the company bigwigs signed off: to hold on to the IP.

I've never said that they weren't making the film to retain the rights. I just don't think that they're the bad guys for wanting to retain the rights that they legally hold.

It's not a rights grab. They already have the rights. They're not taking them from anyone. They have the right to put out films to retain those rights.

Do what now?

There were ways to approach that and Fox took the wrong one IMHO. They should have gone down the route they intended for Daredevil and did an "ashcan copy" film to meet the bare minimum for retaining the rights, like the Corman version.

That would have kept the rights without publicly sodomizing the corpse of the IP by having such a high profile flop.
