I have not heard the following explanation yet.

If you were Campomanes and wanted to stop the match because of possible
psychological harm to the players, you just could not stop it when the
score was 5-1, how would that look?

No, you wait until either Karpov wins, or the challenger wins a specific
number of games, in this case 2.
