One reason a lender may choose to refuse to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or, refuse to accept short sale proceeds has to do with insurance. The loan may carry insurance with the provision a foreclosure must be complete before the policy pays a claim.

If the anticipated insurance claim is greater than net proceeds realized from a DIL or PFSS, the lender has no incentive to facilitate either.

The lender will only do what is in its own, best financial interest. If the borrower happens to derive a benefit from a lenders action... it is incidental to the lender's intent.
