Trump did not “make” Desantis. He did endorse him in 2018 and that appears to have helped, but after that Trump had nothing to do with his success as governor. Desantis first supported Trump in 2016 and through 2018 as a congressman, and then he y supported Trump in 2020, so the idea that Desantis owes it to Trump to stay out of the race is childish. You could just as easily say Trump owed it to Desantis to endorse him in 2018 since Desantis supported Trump first. And after the crap Trump pulled on Desantis in 2022 and all of the attacks since then, Desantis has no obligation to Trump at all.
