Why does it say SURRENDER when we REMAKE?

because you are thinking in terms of maximum efficiency

To be fair, I am not saying that the message should stay as-is, because it is technically an output bug, re-using the code-snipped generating it out of convenience but out of the original context.

And when I say context I mean the context it was put into the code originally. I don't give two cents about the out-of-context interpretation incompetent users might make (as stated above), but re-using code and preformed output out of context comes with its own share of technical problems. It may seem a small issue in this case, but such small hiccups have a tendency to add up in large projects, and bippedybappedyboo, you get what's known so infamously as "Spaghetti Code".

If it was up to me, I would replace the line with "Enemy team voted to end the game (x of y players)." thereby eliminating any emotional context altogether, and retaining the ability to use the same message on either action.

accessibility to any and all users (competent or not)

While there is nothing wrong with this mindset per-se, overdoing it leads to disaster.

Because convenience, and accessibility come at a price tag, which may not be immediately visible to the designer, and completely unknown to the user, but very visible to the engineers and programmers. I will provide just 2 examples here, where designers choices in the name of accessibility, prettyness and catering-to-the-lowest-end made biological waste hit the fan:

• Batttery-Life of modern smartphones. Designers decided it was a good idea to make them ever thinner and larger at the same time. Therefore we have ever more energy consuming larger screens, and ever thinner batterys. Meaning, they have to go through more recharge-cycles, more often and instead of batteries that are good for the products lifetime, we get smartphones where batteries are dead after 4 months use. And in the worst case scenario, this leads to smartphones turning into molotov cocktails.

• "Next-Gen-GUI" windows applications. "Why is my computer sooooo slow?" .... well, its because this cool new application you just installed is showing a super easy to understand GUI with lots of sounds, animations, 3D effects, transparencies, and other knickknacks, and was not coded by a programmer, but built by an "App Designer", using some pre-formed "App Kits" which were designed for easy use with zero regards given to efficiency. The result is a text-editor with the functionality of Windows-Notepad (a 230KB software that has existed since the Dark Ages), but requiring 380MB RAM and half the cycles of your GPU.
