They don't have to make the encounter good, no. You can tell because of how they didn't, they put a stupid "lol u ded" trap in instead.

Ultimately in a videogame, all that does is teach the player to savescum encounters rather than play them out, another reason it's bad design.
I disagree there as well. It can make them save scum, certainly. But it is also a very big warning for the rest of the game going: This game is hard, there will be death. You are not as much of a superhero as you think you are, be careful.

And that's a pretty important signal to have if that's the tone of the game you're going for.
