It's not so much that there is or isn't a penalty, it's what it -means-. For example, you are already saying you do not intend on dying. For you it is unfavourable for whatever reason, but for others there needs to be a real reason as to why dying is not a good thing.

Games where dying is not really feared become boring very quickly, as do any games whereby the player feels unusually safe. A reason why Quicksaving is often experimented on, and things like checkpoints and limited saves are explored.
