One of the few times I find the trope makes sense is if killing the evil big bad turns them into a martyr for whatever followers are left. But it needs to be dramatic. It needs to have that sense of "mate you are not coming back from this humiliation. Enjoy your quiet forgotten death."

oh yeah, my complaint isn't not killing the bad guy. there are infinite reasons for that not to happen, including second chances or revenge that's much cooler. it's all about groundwork.
