Look at it rationally.

Starting a war isn't going to help anyone - and it certainly isn't
going to help interoperability. In a friendly atmosphere there is a
much greater chance of agreeing, thus making it possible to share more
code. Sharing code means saving time, which means there is more time
to spend on making the perfect desktop environment.

At least, by not starting or participating in such a war you'll have
much more time to working on something more productive, e.g. producing
code.

So the question should rather be: why would they want to keep the ads
when some people were ready to make it a problem?

Much pain and hardly any gain.
