Such a recommendation fits nicely into primary election considerations (R v R) which precedes any November general election (R v D) but dodges the specific point in our exchange and is nonresponsive.
But I will answer your question:
why crawl through broken glass to vote for people who don’t have much, if any, respect for the will of their voters?
To keep a "Biden" supporter out of federal office, to add seats to the R chamber and to then have an opportunity to more effectively manage the wayward R.
“but dodges the specific point in our exchange and is nonresponsive.”

I don’t see how voting for an ostensible Republican who misleads voters, appeases Democrats, and dodges accountability can be perceived as a “gain”. And is it really ‘R v D’ when the R is a RINO? What’s the point of voting for anyone who doesn’t intend to fight?
Voting for (and effectively rewarding) backstabbers increases the number of your so-called “wayward R’s”, and there are already way too many of them in the GOP. I think you would even agree with that. And logic dictates that the more of them there are the harder they are to effectively manage.
You are dodging that issue my friend.
