Depends on how the Bad Ending is presented to the player, and the consequences of it.
You have Chrono Trigger as an example. If you lose to the final boss, you trigger the bad ending on which the universe is destroyed. Given that the game ends, your only option is to do again the final section and try again at the boss. It's not that bad, really.
