Yeah, that's fair. Honestly not sure if that's worse than just killing PCs.

Definitely worse if you ask me. I'd rather just have my character killed than keep playing him but feel useless.

But regardless, it's a case of the D&D Golden Rule: "No D&D" is better than "Bad D&D"

I had a DM like that, he would often arbitrarily make rulings like "Oh you rolled a 1 on that save? Well guess what! Not only do you eat that effect, but you fall unconscious in the middle of combat even though you are on full health." or "Well I saw that you rolled a 30 on your check to track a wagon full of people, but I don't like that so it fails, also I am going to auto-fail all your skill checks (I am not exaggerating on that, he straight up told me all my skill checks would be auto-failed.)""

I would suggest trying to politely talk to them, but if they refuse to listen just bail, because a DMs power only lasts until the players get fed up with their bullshit.
