I think specifically in D&D there are spells that made the survival option pointless, like create water, create food and water, create tiny hut, summon grove, phantom ammo, mending, etc

Why do you want to seek shelter, spend hours in a smity or chase a rabbit when you can summon a palace and a feast with some spells?


There are even some "survivalist" backgrounds that gave you a feature that allows you to feed your entire party every day for free if you are not in a city. I think that option would simply force you to take some backgrounds, classes or spells in your party that maybe you do not usually take.
