Isn't life insurance fraud by suicide selling your life for a chance at money, usually much less than $2 million?

Obviously not, because you're not dead.

Life insurance fraud of killing yourself and making it look like it wasn't a suicide in order for your beneficiaries to get the payout. You would very much be dead.

Okay, let me assume that this is even a thing (I don't know, but you seem to). There are still two fallacies in trying to equate the lost life against the payout:
1. The person committing the suicide and thus the fraud would not be weighing his life against the money, he would be considering the well-being of his beneficiaries instead, and deciding that their well-being is worth more than his life.
2. He cannot reasonably control the payout of the life insurance. Anything beyond a certain mark (maybe 2 million $) would raise a lot of eyebrows in the insurance company.
