Cruel? They’re a collection of polygons FFS. Get a grip on yourselves designers… you’re not creating artificial life.

“gratuitous, unnecessary and cruel” ???
They’re just afraid of the reactions! It’s not as if this was an artistic decision.

Like in Hollywood movies, children never get killed. The only exception to this rule is if they die in first 5 minutes of the movie so you can’t have a emotional relationship to the character. And normally parents of killed children must die too as a consequence.
