It's a dangerous practice regardless and even if we do accept the premise that some people like it (which is much, much rarer than is made out) it's not a good idea. But the reason it's not a good idea is mostly the risk of having a seizure or stroke because of restricted bloodflow. To actually choke someone until they're dead means it's either been continued after they passed out completely, or it was so hard their windpipe was crushed. I'd go as far as to say that 99.9% of these "accidents" are simply not accidents at all.
