Defecting in Prisoner’s dilema sounds morally bad, while defecting in Stag hunt sounds more reasonable. This seems to be the core difference between the two, rather than the way their payoff matrices actually differ. However, I don’t think that viewing things in moral terms is useful here. Defecting in Prisoner’s dilema can also be reasonable.
Also, I disagree with the idea of using “resource” instead of “utility”. The only difference the change makes is that now I have to think, “how much utility is Alexis getting from 10 resources?” and come up with my own value. And if his utility function happens not to be monotone increasing, then the whole problem may change drastically.
