Ill provide a legit reply:
The concept of "permadeath" is very thrilling. You dont respawn. Its over. You lose everything. Its GG
The adrenaline rush in sketchy situations is what fuels gamer's mind. They enjoy it and love it
This I get, I mean I played Diablo 2 hardcore on and off.
However the Battle Royale type survivor games strike me as the opposite of this feeling. You land, you die quick, you queue up again, you land, you run around do nothing for 10 minutes, then you die, then you queue up again, etc.

Every move is calculated and every game plays out different.
Getting from A to B and finding a weapon is a lot more exciting when you know everyone else is trying REAL hard to kill you.
You eventually figure out what works, live longer, and the stakes get higher the longer you live...multiplying the adrenaline rush

I played a lot of hardcore d2 and lost multiple lvl 75+ chars, so i can relate a bit further.
Yeah it sucked losing hours and hours of xp and items if you didnt have loot corpse and a friend..but thats what made it fun.
With battle royal, obviously "dying" is less punishing than dying in d2.. but thats what makes it appealing to the masses. Just queue again and try to do better.
You get the adrenaline rush instantly in Battle royal , compared to not really being invested in hardcore d2 until hours and hours of time was put in.
