Revival apparently has costs. That cost is that they wouldn't be the same. When Anastasia was revived with magic, she was under the influence that she was in love with Jafar. When Daniel and Gerhardt were revived per science, their souls must have been rudely forced back into their bodies and made them monstrous. Also, it was probably Daniel's fate to die (In this OUAT universe), as when he was brought back by Whale, he said something to Regina to make it stop. Meaning that if she would have kept him alive, he would be someone else, forever in pain, and never okay. Like Rumple was when he had both his mind and his son's mind. It only ended when one of them died.
