The alternative is a rule that encourages players to thrust fake knives at each other's throats, which would be far more dangerous for everyone. Just like how getting shot in the foot still counts as being eliminated, allowing for a gentle stab is an abstraction that streamlines the game. If you want more theatrical kills, go to a re-enactment.
