"they would never have left Toriel's home, as they would be too polite and feign interest in 'snail facts', and thus the game could not progress without the player's intervention"

I don't really agree with that. During the fight with Asriel, while you're saving Toriel's soul, of you choose the "Talk" action it says "You tell the Lost Soul that you have to go if you're going to free everyone". I feel like "you have to go" only makes sense if you think about her not letting Frisk leave the Ruins. Since you are basically repeating past actions to make her remember you, I think Frisk probably wanted to say that to her during the fight with her, to try to convince her to let them leave.
