Maybe it's for the best. You'll break a sweat, clutch a game on your last breath, and then in the epilogue or the next game, everyone gets wiped out by an apocalypse or a nuke anyway. So it's better to destroy everything ourselves.
Last time players destroyed everything themselves, it first led to the Ikigai post-apocalypse (which is no longer canon), and then to Rinze. Are you sure that's better?
