...and then the buyer can tell you "well you know, since you don't want to be part of this deal - I'm going to just walk away from you. *I* like that house. So with or without your help, I'm buying it. Do you want a commission or not?"

The buyer decides whether to buy the house or not - not the agent representing them. If you don't like the commission, you can walk away, but you can't "take the buyer with you" if the buyer likes the house.
