That's because you missed the point... about the threat being something other than human. Be it aliens, demons, feral animals, artificial intelligence, what-have-you. If there were something out there intent on hurting you, wouldn't you want someone out their to protect you against them? Even if you can't be killed. Many people wish they could die when they're going through enough pain.
