Offered a pill on your deathbed to go back to the vitality of your 20s, you'd take it.
Given the opportunity to give this pill to a dying loved one, you'd take it.
The only reason you think that being death-optional is bad, is because the only longevity-related media you've ever consumed has doomer outcomes - because positive sci-fi doesn't sell.
8 billion innocent people should die because a dictator might live longer? Including your own family members and children? This would essentially be the worst cost:benefit tradeoff ever made in human history.
You cannot think of other ways to solve societal problems that don't involve killing everyone on the planet?
"cheapens the time you have" - this is just copium. When you're enjoying a day, you are not thinking "oh geez this day is good because I'm going to fucking die." You're just enjoying the day.

Also it cheapens the time you have. Why care about anything if you live forever
