Hi, well that is not true all the time. After a bit of experience in their previous games like ETQW, you realize that tapping out (= dying for good and waiting respawn) can be a good choice to avoid having a medic reach you in an open dangerous area, of if you dropped a nade before falling that would blow your medic friend too.

Also, it is not really the deathcount that is relevant in these types of multiplayer games, because the map has objectives, and whatever the deathcount is, if your team don’t achieve their objectives, you loose the round.

So sometimes it’s good to go out and lure enemies, sacrifying yourself to that the engineer or operative and flank quickly the enemy front to set an explosive or hack a terminal.
