Not being in that group is essentially being relegated out of Europe. Its a huge difference in competitions and as such available funds.
On top of which wouldnt it be even sweeter to see your direct rival have their destiny in their hands and then fumble the ball right to their worst enemies?
I dont know, it makes total sense to me.
Especially when you look at the vast gulf in quality in the PL. It really doesnt look like anyone is going to be closing that 1-2 gap anytime soon so playing for European honours looks far more enticing.

Well for us to add to this, is that us playing again in say Europa Conference isn't appealing to Conte and likely not to Kane or other players. But top 4 means that we're in the biggest competition next year, which hopefully sates Conte and helps bring in players this summer both from a monetary and status perspective.
The fact that we could get there to beat out our biggest rival is obviously going to be celebrated. It's hilarious that an Arsenal fan would try to suggest that this is somehow no big deal, because it clearly is.
