To me that the only reason to have the Olympics is to get new stuff, most importantly an arena.
why even bother, then?

IMO it's just posturing- the committee doesn't want to get dragged into the negotiations. Sure the saddledome is fine, but I would bet that new arena would be at the top or near the top of everyone's infrastructure items list in advance of the games. Whether or not CSEC is a party to construction of that building or just an eventual tenant would be the new debate.
