Often a Xanatos Gambit: if the hero doesn't try to get the Maguffin before the villain than there's nothing stopping the villain from getting it first. Of course, that means that even if the hero does get a hold of it, expect it to leave his hands before they can use it, getting us back to the start of the trope.

He seizes the artifact, and leaves them Only Mostly Dead, as his Evil Plan moves forward. The Hero has collected a ragtag band of fellow survivors and enemies of the Evil Overlord, and even ventured deep into the very underbelly of the earth, fighting his way past killer trapped doors and all manner of random encounter beasts to get hold of an artifact of legendary power before the Big Bad gets to it, and thereby safeguard it from his Evil Plan. except that he emerges to find his arch-nemesis aiming a gun point blank at him, casually ordering him to hand it over.
