The DOJ case is not simply to protect netscape or do it a favor. It is a case about breaking antitrust laws, illegal and anticompetitive (monopolistic) business practices.
Netscape's browsers dominated the market with no arm twisting or illegal activities. Microsoft wanted to capture, late in the game, that market, and is using illegal practices to push towards that end.

Just to reiterate, the case is not about what microsoft has.is doing to netscape. It's more than that.

Microsoft broke the law. They agreed to change their behavior. Microsoft was already on probation, in a sense.

They are continuing to engage in anti-competitive behavior. While Netscape has a lead, that lead is erroding quickly due to this anti-competitive behavior (rather than being due to microsoft competing effectively).
