I can accept that Moriarty, being insane, would shoot himself without pause or much thought other than it would be his way of "winning" by forcing Sherlock to jump. But I don't get the portion immediately before, where he accepts Sherlock as an equal simply because Sherlock stepped back from the ledge, which leads to Moriarty feeling that he needed to force the situation. Please to explain theories, pls? Why didn't Moriarty simply kill the 3 friends as planned? Wouldn't that have been winning as well?
