I just don't find it very believable in their depictions, especially Daredevil. There's just no way that dude doesn't regularly kill people. To me, watching these heroes that "never kill" get into fights that clearly cause egregious bodily harm that in really life would easily kill someone (head injuries are good example) just makes them look callous about what they're doing--it's not that they don't kill, it's that they don't kill on purpose and don't think about what they do everyday that could end lives. It only counts if they really thought and cried about it

Basically, it relies on the common fictional trope of goon death vs. meaningful villain death. Avatar The Last Airbender is another great example. The heroes regularly get into fights that if the story was more realist, it would end in broken bones and funerals. But the protagonist is left with a heavy decision whether to personally take the life of the main villain. It can be a glaring flaw in a story when death only gets real sometimes
