They can see the polls saying can majority which means going from a minion with a little power to nothing more than a fart in the background if an election is called. The writing is on the wall that the damage is already done and there is no saving face for the NDP until the cons screw up big (if they even do)
Theses are not honorable people so don’t expect honorable actions. Expect them to act like self serving scum and you will likely predict what they will do
But we can dream of an early election but I don’t see it happening unless Trudeau chooses to step down and he doesn’t seem to think he should

Once again, I can’t argue your logic. However, the Turd has thrown the NDP all the bones he will. There is nothing to gain now staying with the Libs. They likely want to start distancing themselves to attract some disenfranchised Liberals who will never vote conservative. As you say, they are self-serving; they are looking out for their own seats possibly. The cons have won, but if they maintain seats or even grow a handful its a win for them.
Who knows though, maybe they do stay with the Libs and blackmail them for a few more things here and there though.
