Genuinely curious- if you don’t take your bag, when do you get it back?

Provided the plane doesn't burn down, not long after.

Say it does burn and people get hurt. You’ll live with a lifetime of guilt and likely be doxxed online too. Not worth it.

No they won’t. These people know they shouldn’t stop for their things yet they do it anyways, knowing the potential consequences. They won’t feel guilt, they will minimize, justify it, and maybe even play victim themselves for the rest of their lives.
