Several did though, hiroo onoda was holding out with 5 or so guys and 4 of them died at various times in the 2 decades following the end of the war through starvation/exposure or shootouts with local police (generally because they were robbing/looting for food or stealing cows). Onoda wrote a book on his experiences (no surrender) and the dude was so wary of everything around him he refused to believe it when his brother came to try to get him out of the forest, he insisted it was some kind of impersonation or Americans were forcing him.
