In 2v2 why does one base end the game?

Why does killing one base in 2v2 mode end the game?

Wouldn't it be better to have the spawn spaces associated with that base to die as well, but leave the other player and any remaining characters from the base that was killed?

This way, the player that loses a base can't create any new characters, but can help his partner in the remainder of the game.

As it is, killing one base ending the game makes them less tactical and quicker than it would be if the other player was able to finish the game.

Hmmm...Just to remove any ambiguity...

Players 1 & 2 are on one team, with 3 & 4 on the other. If player 1 kills the base of player 3, then player 3's spawn spaces die with the base, but his characters live on. The game then continues until either base 4 is killed, or bases 1 & 3 are killed.
