I don't get it, in multiple referendum people opposed to indipendence, and now they get watered down independence? Is it because New Caledonians thought they would get screwed by full independence? Or they just didn't want what was proposed initially?

It's a compromise. They get the beginnings of independent statehood, but they don't lose the benefits of France. It allows all sides to get something, without forcing the country into any set future path.
