I can see the latter, but why the former? Isn't After the End a general setting trope?

Uh, really? Where does it say that? And why would setting tropes need explanation? In this case at least, it's self-explanatory.

About this:

Originally, the first sub-bullet was part of the main entry, but was dropped down due to Example Indentation. I don't see why this is necessary, though. The second point is a specific example and does belong in a sub-point, but the first point is a general overview of how the trope applies, elaborating on the main premise.
