It's six spells this aspect applies to, and of those six not all of them are life threatening and definitely most are not very common spells. The six spells: Disintegrate, Enervation (Xanathars), Hellish Rebuke (a fairly rare Warlock first level spell), Immolation (Xanathars and I think Elemental Evil), Otiluke's Resilient Sphere (which wouldn't be a life or death situation most of the time), and Sacred Flame.  I mention sources because you specified "during 5e's run", and in the first couple of years the odds are only disintegrate and sacred flame could have threatened a life, and sacred flame is a pretty weak cantrip to be threatening character lives "many times". What are the odds you come across that small subset of spells, 1) many times, 2) where a +2 bonus is the difference in the saving throw, and 3) where a failed save would have killed the character but a successful save would not? You have to admit, that doesn't seem as likely as you not being aware of that limitation, from my perspective.Now there are non-spell effects which can threaten a character life, and target just one character, and call for a dex save, and have the save made by that +2 margin. But they're not all that common either (most are similar to an avalanche and target an area rather than a particular single character), and it would be hard to quantify them because they are particular to a campaign. It's certainly not something I could know in advance about your personal campaigns.</blockquote>
