The thing about blob rounds is:
A- people need to be encouraged to fight the blob, because they’re the sort of threat that needs All Hands On Deck to handle. Having the round instantly end encourages this, because people know that with a blob about there’s no time to carry out their own personal projects, so they go fight the blob so that the round ends more quickly.
B - a good chunk of the station is wrecked and uninhabitable after the blob is defeated, and most people would still rather call the shuttle and start a new round than stick around and repair it. Also, the people who the blob ate are Capital-D Dead, unless they got clonescanned earlier (and even then, who ever bothers with that?)
