In the end, circumstances basically trapped them in the room and they had to beat (finish beating) the boss by themselves.

Yeah, but the main difference is the reason they had to deal with it was because of human error rather than the game playing some kind of cruel trick.
The setup leaves it possible for players to live and tell the tale of "Teleport crystals no longer work".
