Traditionally, you are correct. But the meaning is shifting, as so often happens with language. Does decimate mean to kill every tenth person? Do awesome and awful mean inspiring awe? Language evolves. It's interesting to know the etymology of words. It's also cool to learn about the evolution of their meanings.

You could be electrocuted and then revived. I’m pretty sure it’s happened a few time with lightning strike victims.

and you would be incorrect . while it is a combination of electric and execute. it doesn't require you to die as executions sometimes fail

It’s weird that people keep telling you you’re wrong, because you’re absolutely correct.

So “electrocuted to death” makes no sense

Language changes and even the dictionaries disagree with you. Its not the first definition but most dictionaries have "severely shock" as one of the definitions. Origin of word and current usage of word do not need to match forever

Just like any other word, portmanteaus become their own thing. Colloquially, being electrocuted means you got shocked. Pedantic semantics 🤣
