What if Judas didn't do it?

[Ferrocyanide]

So, Judas was in the presence of the jewish god or his right hand man (The Son) and he decides to go ahead with the betrayal even when he calls him out on it?

Hmm I think you're touching on a much deeper topic with this question. For example, this isn't a behavior unique to Judas. The entirety of the bible depicts characters that experienced God in some way, and yet behaved contrary to that experience. From Adam all the way to Judas, the story is the same. I would argue that this conflict is one of the central themes of the Bible.

People smoke despite the warnings on the packaging; they drink and drive despite the dangers. To say Judas behaved "stupidly," is to say he behaved human.

It isn’t quite the same. Adam did not betray anyone. He broke a silly rule.
Based on the story, it looks like Adam and Eve do not have much experience with anything.
There is a snake. The snake says this to Eve:

Genesis 3:5 KING JAMES VERSION
For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

^^^^^The snake is saying that the jewish god gave them bad information and it is ok for them to eat and you become gods.
So, why not test out the claim?
The story doesn’t explain the motivation of the snake.

They eat the magic fruit which modifies the brain of Adam and Eve and they gain knowledge about good and evil.
For some reason, they suddenly realize that they are naked.
Being naked has something to do with good and evil?

Anyway, no one was betrayed. No one was harmed.
The only one harmed was the snake and his children and future generations. Ditto for Adam and Eve.

People smoke despite the warnings on the packaging; they drink and drive despite the dangers.

They are not betraying anyone, they are not betraying a friend or family member, they are not turning someone over to a violent authoritarian state.
They are just enjoying a product. They are likely addicted to the nicotine and ethanol.

The last supper story reads something like:
Jesus: “Hey Judas, I know that you are going to betray me.”
Judas: “No man. I wouldn’t do that.”
