What are the results we want from perma-death?

Because it often seems to me that what people really want from
perma-death is to make their players behave differently, and I don't
think we get to do that. It seems like we might be conflating the two
problems as one, and what players really hate isn't the perma-death
itself, but the restrictions it places on their behavior.
