Not everyone wants to kill with the intent of affecting the behavior of the punished, which in this case would be canceling all future behaviors. Some might want to punish by killing because they feel that is the proper response to the crime of the punished. Even if the punisher somehow knows that the one they are erasing will never behave that way again. Such people see certain behaviors as a permanent stain on a person’s life record and they believe the only correct punishment is to end them.
