[2021] I commit suicide every time I 'm done with a mission 2km away

Intended? No. But, Some people are just that impatient. If you don't mind paying the penalty exp in return for the quick trip home, and choose to play without your inventory dropping when you die, then that's a decision you can make. It's not necessarily right, Nor necessarily wrong; But it's definitely not 'intended'.

To be fair, suicide in any survival game is going against intended mechanics.

There's an achievemet to die 500 times though, that's a whole lot of dying

Yep. I have been playing since Alpha 9, do internal experimental testing, have well over 5000 hours of gameplay, and Leroy Jenkings things quite a bit. Even with that I'm still at 288/500.
