Because when only one side is abiding by the treaty it gives your enemies an advantage that they WILL use to your detriment.

It also makes you look weak. Like other countries can walk all over you and there are no consequences. The incidents will keep escalating until you are playing with lives.

Better to nip it in the butt.

You don't want to hold up your end, fine we will not hold up ours.

They will either decide they actually will abide by the agreement or they will decide to formally withdraw. Either way their intentions will be clear.

Either that they are not ready for conflict yet or they are.
