It's not that complicated
The MAGA side wouldn't accept anyone who wasn't on their team (Jordan, Johnson, etc). The moderates gave in once they kept the firebrand out of office. Now the Speaker is someone who thinks and votes like Jim Jordan but doesn't yell like him. I don't know if Johnson had a grand strategy to be the last one standing, but somebody clearly knew which side of the caucus would yield first.
