There were not more survivors on Titanic for several reasons, one of them being that the officers loading the boats were favoring women-and-children over men, resulting in many unnecessarily empty seats . If the officers did not discriminate and simply filled the boats, more people would have been saved.

The combination of not having enough lifeboats for all the passengers, the delays in putting passengers into lifeboats, not fully filling those lifeboats, loading only "women and children first", the icy water, the ship the SS Californian which was nearby but didn't assist when the Titanic was sinking.

Why did the titanic have so much design?

The Titanic was built for style, rather than speed. First class had a swimming pool, and a few nice dining areas. Second class had a nice library and restaurant, even third class had a few comforts! So you can see the style Titanic had. The whole point was to get people to buy the tickets, and sail to USA. But many ships at the time didn't have good cabins and food. That put many people off riding on ships. But when Titanic came along, they built it with lots of design and luxury, so lots of people went on board!
