I feel its time they phase some of the older villains out in order to make way for newer ones. Cinder has already been one of the Main Antagonists for Five Volumes (Four if you exclude Volume.... Four), and to have the villain around for too long, they start to feel less and less threatening..... which I think many people are feeling about Cinder. A lot of times I hear people talk about Cinder, they usually want her to die, or want her to redeem herself. She isn't a threatening villain anymore. And while I see many people say it should be Ruby or Jaune who kills her, sometimes characters don't get their revenge.

Besides, Cinder dying actually opens up more possibilities for the story. Emerald may want revenge for her death and fully join the villain cause. Salem may step up her plans since they'll have lost their fall maiden. The search for a new Fall Maiden. Ruby and Jaune trying to deal with their feelings after being denied the chance at revenge. While initially I thought Cinder can't die yet, maybe it's better if she does.
