There are still several contested states to go. He pretty much did the same thing in SC by not even showing up to concede in the state. Maybe he knows more than we do due to exit polls. Maybe he's trying to take the sting out of the losses. To me, it seems more demoralizing to just focus on VT. Many of his people worked hard, GTVO, caucused and went to the polls the other states.
