We do player death beacause D&D is interactive fantasy literature. Death isn't losing, it's just another part of the story

Exactly my take on it as well. In a fantasy setting, death isn’t necessarily the end. There are ways to be revived, raised, etc. Plus in a game without any stakes, what is the fun?
