Why would they want to?

They could just apply themselves after the time limit.

There is a school of thinking that the petitioner should start and conclude a divorce and that if the respondent is forced to make an application to the court, they should seek their costs of the application.

Whether this holds water is a matter for the judge hearing the application.

If application for absolute is made, does this void any chance to fight out terms of financial settlement?

No, the absolute only end the marriage, not either party's claim on the marital assets.
