I never thought about it before… but for Miriam and for the 10 spies, Moshe plead with Hashem to mitigate the harsh punishment. Even for the sin of the golden calf, Moshe plead to Hashem. Only when Moshe’s authority was challenged did he offer no words to evoke Hashem’s compassion – nothing less than death.
That’s how serious rejection of tzaddikim is!
