IMO, they both had to die for two reasons:
First, they were too dangerous to live. Although Pentangeli's credibility as a witness against Michael was nil after his Senate recantation, the government wasn't going to let him "live better than most people on the outside" with no further ado. They'd keep hammering him for info on Michael (and he had plenty) until they got something they could use, and that they could connect to a witness they could squeeze who wasn't compromised like Frankie. Roth was Michael's most potent enemy. Despite having a near-fatal stroke, and almost being killed by the bodyguard, he still managed to ensnare Michael in a perjury trap, and almost succeeded. He'd never stop until he stopped breathing.
Second, Michael had to prove to enemies, potential enemies=--and those around him whose loyalty might waver--that he never, ever gave someone who crossed him a pass. And, it didn't matter if he was on an Air Force base under 24-hour guard, or if he was being arrested by the FBI--or if he was Michael's brother--they were going to die.
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu, E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu... E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
