Early detection does two things: 1. Allows you to isolate the person before they spread it further. 2. Allows you to be ready to treat their pneumonia which increases their survival chances.

You said early detection leads to better outcomes - so point 1 doesn't apply. Treating pheumonia is last stage process, early detection does nothing to help help here as well.
