What i'm trying to get at is that it is better if the gold and xp go somewhere, rather than being wasted to avoid stealing.

In your case with the champion blowing everything on another champion, it would be a lot worse if they escaped due to being saved or something of that sort. Instead if someone got the kill then it is worth blowing it all to eliminate a player that can possible win the game for the enemy team. Or you having no cd's and are useless in the next fight.
