I do not see where integrity has a damned thing to do with it.
Selling cakes has nothing to do with morality.

It is a compromise and neither side is happy about it.

There's been a forced unilateral removal of one side's rights, in the name of political correctness. 
There's no compromise here

Then why does it matter so much that it draws a fine bigger than the value of the business?

The fine is absurd. I suppose the fines were written to prevent racial discrimination long ago, with the intent of being big enough to shut down even chain restaurants. I don't think we know how much the judge's discretion determined the fine.

But seriously, making a wedding cake is not an integral part of any wedding. Baking a cake is not aiding and abetting. No one needs a cake to get married. Imagine a supermarket refusing to sell rice to be thrown at a gay wedding. This is that silly.

Absurd is a good word, bizarre too.

But the plaintiffs got paid , so how absurd is it for them?
