The problem is that when a candidate forces a fight at the convention, the party almost always loses the election. Also, not having a nominee gives the Republicans a long time to prepare. John McCain could have a whole half a year head start on the Democrats.
So, sure, most are happy with Hillary staying in for the time being, but if you look at the remaining contests, there is almost no way mathematically she can still win. She would have to win the remaining contests by like 70 to 30 margins, which just ain't gonna happen. But if she stays in all the way to the convention, she is basically dooming the entire party just for her 2-3% chance of becoming the nominee, and it's hard to see that as anything more than selfish.
