no - I do not agree - removing "Don't" from - a - makes a whole new sentence.

Why don't leave before the crowd arrives - a Suggestion
Why leave before the crowd arrives - a Question

It's a question that relates to many classes of English, and which is acceptable on a whole by them all.

- this word most likely will be rejected. - But - from d
or - though - from C - same thing...
Meaning does not change when you remove either word, so they are unnecessary.
