Post Death Effects and No Death Log

I've been playing this game for so so long, and I really love it and always tell everyone who'd listen how great of a game POE is, but ...

The current post-death effects are just so incredibly discouraging and defeating. All I want to do is pick up items and play the game, and I am CONSTANTLY dying to big delayed explosions well after monsters are dead.

Then, on the flipside, as a long time range enjoyer who is trying melee for the first time in many years, sometimes my character just is instantly dead on an occasion that I have otherwise ran dozens of times before with no problem, and I simply just have no idea what killed me.

I can deal with rares that are pointless sponges that soak up damage just to not give you anything in return, that's obviously here to stay, but please just let me pick up the measly bubblegum currency I AM rewarded with! And please, for the love of all that is holy, I simply cannot wrap my mind around the idea as to why, in the nearly 20 years this game has been in active development, there is not a death log detailing what actually killed you.

GGG have been nerfing death effects over and over, current ones are kind of okay to deal with, if you having difficulties to deal with, maybe try add axe mastery (enemies killed by your hits are destroyed), the pyro ring (if you ignite monsters), doppelganger body Armour, infernal cry and many other options I may not aware of.
Regardless of that, I have kind of the same issue but on essences, sometimes somewhat happen and it blow up and kill me while I was looting the essences, but still I know it's my skill issue more than the death effect itself.

Sadly no death logs because "misleading" and weird excuses ngaf.
