The point is surrender would have led to a guaranteed and instant death for all three. The only wise tactical move was to continue the fight as it was the only option with a possible positive outcome, which Lion-O got correct.

Battle strategies are often utilitarian – “the maximum good for the maximum number.” Cheetara would have gotten them all killed. Lion-O decision was the best one he could make in a no-win situation.

Why is this so hard to understand? It’s just logic and math. Do I need to analyse this using Game Theory?

Cheetara’s action was nothing more than a symbolic gesture to show her undying devotion to her new boyfriend.

They weren't guaranteed death for surrendering. We only know that they would've been killed after the fact. They said surrender or he dies which implies that if they surrender he would live. hindsight might be 20/20 but she didn't make her decision with the knowledge that they would try to kill them all anyway.
