I do love her character, but...
People that think she was going to live forget she was objectively a member of an evil faction (which most of the other members of also died); and served one of the primary villains of the story.
In a way, Konan might even be one of the paths of Pain herself. She has piercings across her belly and chin to tie her to Nagato's chakras, and her hair is actually distinctly the color of the Rinnegan. It's like a metaphor that she IS the Rinnegan, she IS Pain, which is why Obito had to kill her to take it back.
