why does this have the "implied death" tag when Catherine's ERASURE isn't implied, it's fucking canon?

Because the image only suggests the character died. There is no hard evidence in the image of an actual death.

Generally speaking, tags are based on the content of the image itself, not on outside information. This is usually expressed as "tag what you see, not what you know."
