Good for TLOU. It's not really trying to be the same thing as a Resident Evil game.

Even if you made fun of the sentiment, the point literally is "you don't have to kill them all". You're supposed to consider if it's worth burning up the ammo to fully clear that hallway or if you can get by just staggering them with 1-2 shots and sprinting past.

Knife durability likely came about as an idea because an infinite knife runs counter to that philosophy. Especially given how powerful the knife in RE2 remake actually is, even the non infinite variant.

Of course, Resident Evil has a history of letting players unlock infinite weapons so they can go nuts on future playthroughs so we get the infinite knife(and infinite ammo weapons) via an unlock.
