Not to mention that in most other types of games (single player, RTS, etc) when you "Game Over" the world usually doesn't keep going like it does in an MMO. It usually reloads from your last save point so you can try again. That's a big factor in why most of the other gaming genres don't impose "harsh" penalties on death.
