She didn't have to die for Titus to remove the flame. First, they could have written it that it doesn't require death for removal. Second, even writing it with death as the only means of removal, they could have instead written it so the Sky People had the technology after 97 years to remove it without causing death. It would have been a nice nod back to the Reapers and given Abby something productive to do while at the same time bringing ALIE closer together with ALIE 2.0 and keeping Lexa alive while a new commander took the flame. Everyone else will assume Lexa had died, allowing Lexa could escape and disappear (for any number of reasons) until the finale. We haven't seen Luna for three seasons; same can be done with Lexa.
