Like in Hollow Knight when you die you have to go on a 10 minute journey through an area youve already cleared to get back to the boss that keeps killing you in 10 seconds because youre still trying to figure him out, and because that path back may be difficult you could die along the way and lose all the money youve spent hours earning.

I would go so far as to say, with the exception of boss fights, the difficulty curve between checkpoints should be flat or even descending.
