A guess is finding a proper and legal way to break a contract is preferable for companies. An arbitrary breach of contract might make a company look unreliable, could make it more difficult to sign any contract in the future.
IANAL so I have no idea if they’d risk penalties as well.
If they try and claim there’s no jurisdiction, the other party might disagree. Especially if the contract has a provision that defines which jurisdiction/court is responsible for resolving disputes.
