Probably because even Pence isn't that stupid and understands that even pretending these lunatic arguments have some semblance of a legitimate legal basis is extraordinarily dangerous.
Pence isn't nihilistic, he has a material stake in ensuring the United States doesn't collapse into a Years of Lead type situation
Like these fucking reptiles in the Republican Party, no matter how much they literally were inciting people to riot for Trump, do not want them to actually do that. Like, another extremely visible aspect of the Capitol Hill Riot and ensuing fallout with the Republicans all lining to piously flagellate themselves for their own words on CNN is that American politicians literally believe they can say whatever outrageous lies they want and nobody will ever actually do anything about it. In fact, they are banking on it. It is itself a type of virtue signaling, no different from Democrats who rhetorically show support for BLM or w/e while simultaneously backing up the cops who violently crush them. They don't actually believe in anything they say, and are banking on everyone else being just as cynical and not acting on words fronting for beliefs that aren't genuine.
Unfortunately these morons completely miscalculated because they are very much tailing the masses who make up the base of their own party, they don't understand what motivates these people because their material interests are in a different world divorced from theirs, so they were genuinely surprised when thousands of lunatics took them at their word and tried to overthrow the government.
