The logic is that you can't trust anyone on Survivor. However, it is easier to trust the people you already know than people you just got Merged with. It is really a way to ensure everyone from the biggest remaining original tribe won't worry about their survival until late in the game, where it would be like playing their original tribe game again. The caveat here is that those in bottom of the alliance could flip and make their own when there is a certain number of members left from the opposite alliance.
