Is there a canon reason for this, is the game trying to tell me the humans accepted death at one point and gave up? The humans before Frisk weren't able to save and load. They were determined, but not enough to change fate and avoid death, so the most they could do is persist and keep their body and soul alive after they died. If they were able to save they would have all found out a way to either convince the underground that humans were good-natured, kill everyone, or escape unscathed. The only people in the game who could ever save or reset were Frisk and Flowey.
