You're conflating the evolution of the strategy with the idea of the evolution of the actor being controlled by the agent. To give an obvious example, if dying gave 100 points instead of subtracting 10, even the dumbest evolutionary algo would learn to commit suicide asap. The survival of the actor has no intrinsic relevance to how the evolution develops.

Yes.

No, not in this case. That was my point. That's why the outcome should not be surprising.
