That is one perspective that works for some people but I strongly disagree.

Dice rolls exist to resolve conflicts between the player and DM stories, yes...but they also exist to create new and interesting situations which neither player nor DM would have chosen.

Yes, the dice can create unsatisfying moments and even end characters or entire parties in a way that doesn't feel great. But for each time they have done so in my experience, they have created far more awesome moments, simply by following the rules. And without allowing the unsatisfying ones, the good ones don't really happen either, and don't feel as satisfying.
