I doubt it's anything that strategic.
Consider it from his position:
- Which is more likely, people view him holding on for longer as a negative thus increasing their loss vs. some outlier event reduces the level of defeat?
- On a stats basis is it better to be PM for a longer or shorter period of time?
- When you're drowning in your own political ineptitude is it easier to do nothing or do something?
- Which is more likely, people view him holding on for longer as a negative thus increasing their loss vs. some outlier event reduces the level of defeat?

If he can't see that by now, then there's no hope surely? I'd contend he is intent on hanging on as long as possible to do his donors as many favours as he can and just in case some miracle gives him a boost in the polls.
