If a player has such a strong desire to win that they'd betray an ally in a game, then why wouldn't they do the same thing in the real world?

Because doing so in the game is acceptable behavior, and in fact a required part of the game where there can only be one winner. Doing so out of the game may be expected by some, and may in fact happen quite often, but it's not acceptable behavior in a civilized soceity. You play by the rules of the game while you are playing the game. You operate according to the rules of soceity and ethical behavior in real life.

Does the desire to win end when the game ends?

The desire to do well is universal, it's not limited to games. But life is NOT a game. There is not only one "winner" in life. For me to do well in life I don not have to hurt those around me. For me to win the game, those around me must lose.
