How about “because it’s been actively claiming that territory continuously since the late 1940s?” They officially see themselves as China’s government in exile. Your question sounds like “why on Earth would General de Gaulle willingly return to a semi-destroyed France in 1945, when he’s been perfectly comfortable living in a nice city like London?”

West-East Germany unification made sense bc it was not a unification but actually the West swallowing the East. And the East wanted to be swallowed. A North-South Korea unification would likely be a similar scenario.

In the scenario I envision, Mainland China would want to be swallowed by a successful capitalistic Republic of China, just like the DDR by the BRD.
