The first reason is to do with Digimon evolutions Habu stated (in a part of an interview that’s totally about Survive, even though it wasn’t formally revealed yet) that he wanted to find a way to express branching possibilities of evolution with what-if scenarios, citing the SkullGreymon incident in Adventure as an example. While we’re here, let’s also discuss why this game is a visual novel with branching paths. This is blatantly the game’s favored route out of the three main ones, since it has a significantly more “complete” story and resolved plotline compared to Wrathful and Harmony. The end result is that Takuma and his friends momentarily give up on their desire to stay with their partners for the time being so that the world can be in peace for the time being. Takuma’s choice in Part 8 is that he can’t abandon his friends (the choice initially seems to be a Harmony one in that it prioritizes friends, but the nuance is that Takuma’s doing it because he knows he has a duty to not abandon them, rather than simply doing something only because he doesn’t want the world to end around him) thus, he takes charge during the amusement park visit in Part 9 in trying to save Miyuki and prevent victims, the group doesn’t split up, and nobody else dies. Moral choices correlate with Takuma picking choices that are about “the right thing to do”, whether it’s about not abandoning friends or saving people who need help, or basically the kind of values that shows like Digimon Adventure would like us to take to heart. The setup is harsher, and the kids are put through the kinds of trials that the Sunday morning kids’ timeslot would be very unlikely to approve of, but the journey to reach the best possible ending still falls under the same lines, and the outcome that everyone strives to reach is the same. But even if you didn’t know the fact that Habu is infamously known for being a hardcore Digimon lover to the point he convinced staff members to join him out of sheer passion (basically, if you know anything about him, it’s laughable to even imagine he would willingly treat Adventure with that kind of condescension), playing Survive itself and seeing how its endings are framed makes it evident that at no point does it ever ask the player to give up on the idealistic values Adventure is built on. A frustrating byproduct of having works that are supposedly something “but darker” or “a deconstruction” of something (to which I will simply respond with this well-worded tweet “a deconstruction is when I like something in a genre I disrespect”) is that they often tend to be malicious works that are condescending towards the original by insinuating that it’s “unrealistic” or “too idealistic”, and even if the work itself isn’t actually like that, the fans are certainly likely to read it that way, both in well-meaning and insidious senses.
I also do feel the need to point out that despite what it looks like at first glance, Survive is still, to the very end, a love letter to Adventure (no matter how morbid that may sound to some people at first glance).

(While Two Years’ Vacation was not immune to racist or imperialistic notions, especially regarding the part where the boys treat Moko’s lower status for being black as a given fact of life, it was generally more focused on the boys figuring out how to survive in the first place, and the differing social backgrounds between the boys is depicted as a source of conflict they have to overcome.) Thus, Golding wrote Lord of the Flies with thinly-veiled parodies of Coral Island’s protagonists, with the point being made that instead of being righteous Christians who purge the area of evil, the evil instead comes from the boys themselves as they turn on and try to kill each other. Golding wrote the novel as a scathing response to another survival Robinsonade called The Coral Island, an incredibly, incredibly imperialistic narrative involving British boys fighting against “savage, uncivilized native” archetypes and converting them with the goodness of Christianity. The 1954 novel Lord of the Flies by British author William Golding (which you’re probably more likely to have heard of) is a much more cynical take on the concept.
