The fact that Fantasy games always had injuries and deaths that could not be healed by in-universe magic? Warcraft had characters who lost limbs, characters who died to poison & disease despite dispels and cure spells existing for both of these, and in general despite ressurection being a thing, characters that canonically died and didn't come back. Oh and of course mortal wounds leading to death, despite powerful healer characters being right there.
This is why it's important to recognize this for what it is: Culture war bullshit. This is not a new thing that writers have only started doing now. This has always been in the lore, but the biggest faggots on earth now see anything that varies from the default in the slightest manner as "pandering" See:

Sure, but what about other examples? Drek'Thar and Illidan both losing their eyes? King Mechagon replacing his body with tech shit? (Or all of the Mechagnomes for that matter) Does Sylvanas count, who completely lost her body and was built together by dead high-elf parts. Writing characters with missing limbs or disabilities has been extremely common in fantasy for ages.
George R. R. Martin has made Bran crippled in 1996 and he had warg powers. This is not a new thing, as much as culture war faggots want to make you believe it is.
