Its because they ditched in friendly territory. (inside a friendly Dar ring) If someone lands on the ground in their territory always finish them off.

Actually, I've seen this happen in "neutral" airspace, as well
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

There is no such thing as "neutral" airspace.

The determining factor is the distance to the closest base. If any own base is closer to you than any enemy one, you can ditch.
That's why it's possible to get a "captured" result even when inside own radar circle.
