User blog comment:Staw-Hat Luffy/Luffy wants the fruit WTF/@comment-79.107.248.111-20130327222214/@comment-4605926-20130330204121

First of all, you've got to ask him this question.

At any rate, if I managed to interpret him correctly, then he believes that since Luffy has already gotten over Ace's death, then it shouldn't have provoked such a reaction from him. One could argue about the desire for the fruit being connected to Ace's death or not, which is another reason why this is an opinion rather than a straightforward decision.
