Thing is that nuclear option raises a constitutional challenge to a rule. By invoking it you are setting a precedent. The genie is out of the bottle and there's no way for you to put it back in.
Thing is that McConnell stonewalled democrats for the entirety of Obama presidency, he knows that's a tool that basically keeps republicans from going extinct. Imagine all of the progressive agenda passing with simple majority under a democratic trifecta?
