It sounds like this was
non-urgent diversion/change of destination where were there probably all sorts of factors that needed considering ( for example consequences of the crew going out of hours, getting replacement crew to the aircraft..passenger convenience - accommodation/ease of onwards travel/passengers/horses ability to e.g; enter a state other than Mexico, such as the States, Canada at all) etc etc etc..
Sometimes diverting to your legal, legit, all above board flight planned alternate can turn into an absolute administrative nightmare for crew and
passengers once you are on the ground...been there , seen that, got the T-shirt.
But yes, I'm sure the "Netherland regulator" will be all over the flight planning...
