That's because it was his role as a military leader to die in battle, and would be dishonorable if he let betrayed his Empire.
Whereas Mount Athos has monks, if they died, Ecclesiastical power, and Eastern Orthodoxy would've taken a huge blow, especially in the Balkans.

I've been to Chalkidiki. They said the monks are all gay as christmas and Athos is an underground destination for Russian sex tourists.

Except for Esfigmenou, those are true monks right there, and sure, there are gay monks, most of them aren't though, high-ranking people usually are, but that's due to freemasonry.
