While i know people who find just looking at rules instead of solving any problems by quick discusion (or votes) to be "too anoying to handle" ... I also know some people that are able to spend litteral dozens of hours studying rules to find out if certain action was acording to them or not.
So what exactly is "a lot" here? Its matter of having an bold idea?

I never said that ... Actualy ressurection is part of the world, part of the settings and yes it should be part of the story in my honest opinion ...
Still death is traumatizing and unpleasant experience, so people try hard to avoid it as long as it will be possible ... Still once you are dead, you are dependent on the help of others ... wich, especialy if you are in group of complete strangers from wich some tryed to kill you when you first met (looking at you Astarion and Nettie), some litteraly told you that you are insignificant shit on their boots (lae'zel), some dont really care about you as they also told you but only tolerates your presence since its covenient for their own goals (shadowheart), some are just using you to their own benefit (gale), and some are so full of themself so it would not surprise me as a player that they would be able to forget about you (wyll) ... simply doesnt seem like the ideal way of fixing problems.
Wich all just explain why "hey lets kill me and then ressurect me" is so stupid plan that no reasonable character would ever come with it ... Sure, we dont need to play reasonable characters ... but even tho i dont know "many" DM (just like 3) ... i cant imagine any of them to even bother with such suggestion. :-/
Yet i still believes that Ressurection is vital part of this settings, and should be counted with ... not just for narrative purposes (as Gale asking us to revive him, or Mol telling us they plan to ressurect Arabella) but also as option for player. I dont see any reason why should we be unable to spend our "extremely precious and expensive" revivify scrolls to revive Kanon, Arabella, Sazza, Kagha, Halsin, Minthara, Volo, ... practicaly anyone ... if we choose to. I believe the corect way to do this would be incerasing cost of such scrolls to at least 2000g, maybe even 5000g ... and dont give it to us freely ... that way we would have option to use ressurection that is part of the story for everyone, but it would be so precious so we would probably rather go say that Tiefling mother that her daughter is dead.

Remember that tadpoles connect our minds.
The only viable argument here would be permanent killing Astarion during night snack conversation ... or Lae'zel death if you go to your camp while she runs to talk with other Githyanki ... But that both happens "of the screen" ... so who really knows if there still is tadpole in their heads? :P

I believe we will know why in corect time ... Note that we dont even have whole Act 1 ... and tapoles seems to be important part of whole story, to have everything explained to tiniest details so soon would be also bad. :-/ Even tho for different reasons.
Also dont forget that so far we were only told that our tadpole is different compared to regular one ... nothing more. And that is something we should be able to find out oureself, by the fact that on 7th day we dont sudently play as Mind Flayer.

As i said abowe ... so far only two companions can die "for real" ... and both deaths are done in offscreen.
But this may please you:
Starts on Time: 15:57 .... important part is on 17:03 ... sadly forum allways starts the video from second 0, even if you use timed link. -_- And obviously ... spoiler alert.

That comes without saying ... you dont give me much arguments to work with. Basicaly i only have "it should be possible" and "i believe it" ...
Even jumping right to Lava to get rid of the parasite is possible ... that dont mean that reasonable character would do that.
