Because that level of environmental collapse is many lifetimes away, if it's coming at all.

One of the benefits of humans dying out, which everyone seems so sure about, is that as humanity dwindles, so too will the continued damage to the ecosystem.

May not stop it, but would certainly hamper the acceleration of things.
