I'm of the opinion that they can't have too many people think she's alive. What would be the point? It's not like she's a character we've known for a while, and we actually saw the event of her possibly-dying or whatever and then were left to wonder if she's alive or not. She went MIA/got KIA years before the start of the series.

It's like how we felt during the reveals of Blake being a Faunus and Penny being a robot. We already knew, so the reveal was bland. The only things remotely interesting were the drama produced from Blake's reveal and the sad cuteness of Penny lamenting that she's "not a real person" and then the adorableness of Ruby's acceptance of her.
