275. Because other people were interested and paying him for having fun
They don't pay junkies or violent criminals because people as whole don't like the kind of things they produce. The brave ones like Steve too often live a short life so embracing even his untimely death with admiration is what many do.

I believe it was just a little too much hubris on his part and forgetting ones own flesh is how that kind thing happens. He was great entertainment but dying by the sword he lived by is the most that ever could have happened to him. That to me, makes the whole thing ironic.

Having better respect (or fear if you prefer) of things that are dangerous is why we often survive, and not in spite of it. Learning when to stand up and when not to is often one of the most important things a human has to learn. This for them standing up and the rest of race in general
