Bannon benefits from being contentious, laying out his intent and then being seen as being removed for expressing the ideals of the alt-right. Now he gets to come out on a war footing and slay the dragon that he rode in on but ceased to be effective in starting his fourth turning race war. He basically dared them to fire him. If he'd decided he couldn't work within the White House any longer, the more forcefully he leaves the stronger he gets to be. It'll be interesting to see if he's as good at unmaking the Trump White House as he was at making it.
