Right, but death isn't the only possible failure state.
Yeah, but it's the most final and dramatic, and it's, y'know, a classic. A Game Over screen just has more going for it than an instant return to the beginning of the level or something.
EDIT: I'm not saying that a game needs death to be good or hard or something, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate here.
