The policy or story settings that make all series seperate, is still questionable, though. There are still opinions why not make all series coexist in the same universe and timelines so we dont necessarily call it a positive thing. Drefes is in the same boat as well.

But we can be sure that not changing timeline to make the characters growp up has a clear reason of franchise promoting. Crossovers, DCD content, etc.

As for different surnames, I know some fans here are not familiar with Japanese, but the editors do put the kanjis here to prevent innocence so it might not be a feasible excuse. Older fans might remember the joke about Hinaki from originalseries.
