I also just realised that ALL of what I said was basically connected to the Genocide run. However, it's also been revealed in-game that Sans cannot truly beat FLOWEY either, for the same reason. Flowey himself says that Sans has made him reset quite a few times (which by itself confirms that there were earlier resets, and that Sans HAS done something), yet he's still there to act as a threat. So even in a neutral/pacifist run, it's canonically confirmed that Sans has made an effort, he's not strong enough to beat the resets, and as a result, as ANYONE would, has given up.
