They gave up on life because Asgore was too strong for them­ - the RSL is independent from the one's strength or additional abilities and powers, so even for weakest one it still gives unlimited attempts to overcome obstacles and achieve the goal in any way, but they are dead - if they could Save, they also have high amount of DT, which is required to... Save, and like I said, DT is the force that actually allows to overcome obstacles and setbacks, and that actually make six humans strong, not weak, but they are dead - you know exactly what Frisk can do having only DT, access to RSL and a stick and other humans, when compared to Frisk, wouldn't differ from them, if they could Save, but they are dead

some were simply kind and willingly gave their soul away - and that renders RSL obsolete. At the same time it makes sense because their Souls are intact, so they didn't die in regular fight. They could be, like you have said, kind, convinced or even make it on purpose. Quite big deal for just a child to give Soul to some monster and die because ot that.

I dont get the middle part.

The rest later.
