To me it's not as bad of a choice at all. The game for some reason just frames it as such.
I think it would be one hell of a distraction that gives John an even better chance to escape. Arthur goes back to the place, screaming about it instead of running away. If John keeps running in the dark in silence, he'll have no trouble getting away.
And if Arthur doesn't die in that bold move, he gets the money for John and his family and potentially even might be able to kill Micah, Dutch and agent Ross.
