Cinder is most certainly a demigod. She wasted the two of the most powerful characters on the good side and barely broke a sweat. She was toying with Pyrrha.

Jaune already is as reliable as the rest of his team, and he's not an audience insert.

But that doesn't mean there's a motive to do so. It accomplishes nothing.

I'm pretty sure people are more concerned with the army of hellbeasts builiding up around Beacon and reparing the damage from the Grimm attack than honoring a bunch of no-names. Besides, they showed that everyone was pulling out at the end of V3. If we didn't see them die in the fight, there's no reason to assume they died.
