why is the plot in apocalypse series always that everyone is aginst everyone? that all people need to arm themselves because everyone wants to kill each other?

in real life scenarios of extreme situations, in almost every case humans would stick together and show altruistic behaviour, share everything because that is the only way to survive. but in fiction it is always the opposite(?).

why is it like that? what do you think?

I am actually reminded of Frostpunk, which is a narrative focused settlement building survival strategy videogame that I would say is about as close to a post apocalypse story which is broadly collectivist, where the main tension and drama comes from the environmental conditions and tough decisions to survive. I played it ages ago so I may not recall it entirely clearly but that's what stuck with me.
