I think I actually know why Hard Mode ends where it does. It ends just before Flowey would speak to you. Just before, in a Genocide Route, Flowey would first call you "Chara". Since you named the fallen child Frisk, Toby ran into certain issues on how Chara should fit into Hard Mode. And was too lazy to find a way around them. (I have my own ideas for an expanded Hard Mode, which actually incorporates this into the Hard Mode story.. Combined with more gameplay elements that just make the game harder. Glyde being added properly would be great. Without spoiling it too much, let's just say there's a REASON why "This name will make your life hell".
