The characters disappear in black smoke in UT, yes? They don't die but their "sacrifice" gives us paths forward in the zone and yes, a cinematic walk up the stairs. If the WoL dies, they all die. If the WoL lives, they can get back to the ship and reverse everything. The writers introduced a device that was pointed out several times to pull people in by their aether to the ship. It was dumb fake danger the whole time, but it still served a reason to the story and we were given a reason why they could be returned from it. Y'shtola even says they can save her but tells her not to because they need to go on.

The whole point of the zone was to show how our friends will sacrifice themselves for a chance to save the world, and we did. My point was that the foreshadowing ahead of time and throughout hinted that they will be recovered and considering the tone of the game as a whole, the Scions were going to end up OK even after "sacrificing" themselves for us to move forward.

We were both explaining the same thing. Iscah expanded on it to give a reason why the characters had to "sacrifice" themselves. I'm not sure how you're seeing it differently. I bolded parts to make it easier.
