ETOPS divert speed

.

Are you required to fly the divert speed and make the ETOPS alternate for lets say 120 ETOPS in 2 hours from the ETP/CP or is that only for planning. I see that the worst case scenario out of 3( decompression and engine fail, decompression, and engine fail) is decompression and 2 engines running to alternate.
Why would you burn all that extra fuel for a few minutes earlier.
