I wouldn't call it a win to kill off so many of your own country.... That's true, and it might be the reason why Kruger decided against it in the end. That said, Kruger has shown he was capable of killing his own countrymen simply to maintain his cover. I don't think it would be too much of a stretch to imagine him deciding to sacrifice the mainland Eldians for ultimate victory.
