Of course they should. And everybody has a different view what he enjoys. For me the joy comes fromt the immersion and plausiblity of the setting. BRP is the operating system which provides the link between this setting and us. In short if we cut the lethality and random madness and horror from combat, its not fun for us anymore, because it lowers the setting realism and plausibility. The result is that we dont have that much respect and fear for combat anymore and maybe we do silly fights in situations where in reality it would be plausible to look for a different solution.

RQ and CoC are deadly enough.

Enough? Maybe in comparision with other rule systems you are right. But in absolute factors, I would not say. I would rather say BRP is reasonable deadly to portray the reality to some extent while staying flexible and simple. I would not want play and dont enjoy anymore a rule system which is not as deadly as BRP.
I can understand your position. You are more into the classical literatic "hero" and cinematic thing than me I assume.
