1. Okay, fine. But that doesn't mean that her being a mentor doesn't factor into that. You are basically saying anything else besides her being a mentor means that she is likely to die. In a way, you're ommitting/ignoring information.

2. ...

Besides, whose to say all the Grimm we have seen so far are the only Grimm in Remnant. There may very well be even more dangerous Grimm that have yet to be introduced. Besides, the finale of the series may very well be the characters taking on Cinder when she is at her most powerful. We don't know what will happen, so the writer's may do things your way, my way, or an entirely different way. ... 1. No, Live is saying there are multiple reasons, being a mentor is only one of them

2. There may be more types of grimm, but ALL grimm are supposed to be dangerous, it would be a cop out to say that the grimm we know, that they wipe out to protect citizens, are little more than feral rabbits, yet the actual threat grim are more like grizzlies... because at a certain point we are supposed to believe people fought these things with sticks and survived.

Further, it is not malicious for Live to claim the easiest way to avoid a Deus Ex Machina is to standardize the power level, and not give the opponent the ability to absorb souls.
