They probably calculated that keeping their contractual obligations to the west who are the main supporters outweighs the monetary benefits Russia gets from the sale of the gas.
I'm guessing fucking over the population of your main supporters in the war isn't the best strategic move. But if the contract expires they have a solid excuse, also Europe has pretty much figured out it's gas issues at this point
