if only because, morality aside, it would have been a stupid move on his part to not be able to trot them out to prove that they were being treated humanely. Edward's precontract seems to have been valid, so they wouldn't have been much of a political threat if they indeed weren't eligible for the throne. Most of the problems came from the Woodvilles trying to hold on to power they no longer had a right to with Richard in charge during Edward V's youth.
It must be said, however, that the boys almost definitely died on his watch and very few historians really believe that they survived into Henry's reign, particularly since Richard never produced them to squash rumors. Whether the act was carried out on his orders or someone (possibly Buckingham) committed an act of treachery to ruin his reputation or better their own chances of gaining power, he ultimately failed in his moral responsibility to protect them. Illegitemate or not, they were still young children owed safety.
