It's even more that if it's d1.
They basically have nothing to go off of, and some surv claim would just be enough of a threat. Again, they are either real survs (in any way is not aligned with mafia, AND WOULD BE PRESSURED TO SIDE WITH TOWN EVEN MORE AFTER THEY HARD CLAIM), another killer, which may be immune, but they can push for lynch at that point, or an important town role who thinks no one would see through the fakeclaims.
You also may have been reg hunted if that's your go-to strategy
Would you rather kill someone who likely has no ability and may or may not side with you or someone who probably has a night ability that directly harms your alignment? The chance of hitting Jailor/Mayor doesn't outweigh the fact that you're probably going to hit someone who could easily side with you.
you're assuming that they're gonna actually hard claim in a deception game. and if they do, again, every side is gonna pressure them to side with them.
