The gamedesign should be interesting, so that a player wouldn't mind to play the same sequences over and over again.

Defender, continues are an integral part of arcade games as they are currently designed. Even if players don't continue much, having the option is important so that players can practice later levels without having to avoid running out of lives. In the trivia department: the Crazy Taxi games have no continues (and they don't make sense in the game's context), and many Atari arcade games imposed secret limits on the number of continues possible.
