There are lots of reasons why flights don't wait, especially at the end of the day. Pilots and crew have a limited number of hours they can be "on the clock" each day - if they "time out" they are no longer allowed to fly by law. Very often, the last flight of the day, if it's delayed, can cause a crew to time out.
It might have been if they waited, they would not have been able to fly at all.
I'm not saying this happened here, but there are some reasons this sort of thing happens besides the airline plain being nasty.
