The cultural effect of "losing face" by giving up on a failed attempt may be too much and "force" the senior management to continue at what is hard to believe isn't already a massive financial loss.
They do have form for this though when they pulled out as a team owner and handed it over to Brawn - with a budget...

What they should of done is to buy (with McLaren) Manor GP and used this as basically an ongoing test and development programme, this would have given them more than twice the data and experience, as they could sacrifice results and as along as the cars were relatively competitive, used them as test mules.
