Because the the goal is for him to have something that you can't have. Turning off atmas won't do that for him. He needs some gear that you can't get and he needs everyone to know he's better than you. everything else in his post (turning off atmas, not using temps etc.) already exists. He just wants better shinies than everyone else.
