I was seriously not expecting him to die in The Last Jedi

I think they wanted to keep him the mysterious character that Palpatine no longer was after the prequel trilogy. Episode I-III gave more screentime and character to him and fans complained that he was less mysterious after that than Return of the Jedi left him. Snoke remains mysterious and enigmatic to the end.
