No Hijacker or suicidal pilot would let the fuel run down that low because it means you were no longer able to control the outcome.
Yes, it's all about control on your terms.

I don't think any pilot suicide has been planned technically in this manner or been extended to a 'no fuel' situation - more a take control, point the nose down and go scenario.
