It is a betrayal only if you are an irredeemable hikki who would rather have the characters die than face the horror and uncomfortable thoughts about adapting to life, reforming yourself as a person and rejoining society. I didn't like the ending either, but I do think it is the best ending there could have been. Some people move on, others are incapable of relating to others or cling to the past and fumble around alone in the dark waiting for death.
I don't think it would have had the same impact if it had ended at pic related and I honestly see no other reasonable alternative.
