Why would he do that when there are avenues he can still win through?
This is Trump. He does anything and everything in the institutional framework to get ahead. Norms? Things you don't do just because? He doesn't care about those. If there's no rule against it he does it.
I will be incredibly surprised if he does not contest whatever the result is and take that to the fullest extent of the law available to him, which in this case is the supreme court.
He has absolutely no incentive to not do that and to not leave on January 20. There is nothing that will stop him. His lawyers will even recommend it to him.
