By splitting the RCs, you may move on to the SF while I'm stuck trying to find a good seat for the next round.

If you can beat that alliance so easily, wouldn't you want to play against them in the finals? If you help an alliance that you know you could beat advance, then they're knocking out an alliance that could beat you.
Using rock-paper-scissors as a guide;
You (rock) could easily beat scissors (slow RC grabber). However, there's another alliance that has quicker RC grabbers than you, but can't score as many 6-stacks as you. They'll be paper. If you can help scissors improve their average (sharing RCs), then there's a chance they'll knock paper out of elims. Then when Finals come, you could easily beat scissors.
It's a different strategy, but you can see why you'd do it.
