Subsequently, there are other enemies like so in the other games.

That means that while the games are very similar in their worlds, ideas and gameplay, there's no story link between them.

Answer 2

Firstly, your "question" is more of a statement. Might want to review that.

Secondly, to address the reason for this; it is so you cannot simply farm enemies by funneling them into a small areas and simply letting them kill each other. this would make the game(s) too easy. For enemies that can damage/kill each other (as mentioned in Nelson's Answer), this is in an area that makes doing this difficult at best, but also allows it so that it's not impossible to face off against more than one at a time.

This series sold itself quite successfully with the tag line "You Will Die". The reception of the game would be very different if people found that this challenge is so easily overcome by simply funneling enemies into a tight corridor and holding up a shield.
