Appellate courts don't just 'swoop in' proactively unless there is some seriously major fuckery going on in the court of origination (lower court the case is being adjudicated) to justify it.
In this case avoiding an 8th Amendment lawsuit that could cost New York State 5x the half-billion in combined compensatory & punitive damages. And the verdict would be thrown entirely out on appeal, too.

So why wasn't the verdict thrown out completely rather than just reduced to $175 million?

That was fast in generating that one.
But I don't get it. It's not a US flagged nor crewed vessel. So I don't see how that pertains to foreign nationals working on US soil.

It does not have to be US Flagged to have an incompetent foreign crew.

Because the verdict itself doesn't violate the 8th amendment. The payment arrangements imposed by that judge do. That's my guess.
It was more than Bernie Madoff paid to post bond, or Sam Bankman Fried, or Jeffrey Epstein. The whole damned system is a joke.
