Consider the authors who toil for months, if not years, to craft a good novel.
And when they make the character die in the end, a slew of various emotions wash over them.
They experience sadness, nostalgia, regret, acceptance, happiness, and finally pride... in the character they created... in the character they developed.
It hurts them more than the audience reading the novel but it also creates an almost addictive feeling of... I don't know serenity, acceptance in the end..... like the thought that their character would slowly fade away from the memories of this world.
They would be forgotten from the minds of all the people whose lives they has changed, for whom they sacrificed everything. This thought itself gives this weird, indescribable and sad feeling.
So, I think the reason why Authors kill the character they created is so that they can hear their character say, in the end...
"Wow... what a wonderful life."
