I think you may be hallucinating reasonable reasons to explain an inherently indefensible situation, patching up reality so it makes sense again. Sometimes people with puffed up egos are frustrated over trivial slights, and group think takes over, and nuking from orbit momentarily seems like a good idea.

Maybe there’s a bad reason — as in, the reasoning was faulty. They suffered Chernobyl level failure as a board of directors.
