I already can't wait to die, and I've got plenty of time ahead. I mean, yeah, if you fit in/like the current systems, you might think living forever is cool.

But what would you think during the next world war, for example? Or if there's some massive climate refugee crisis (more akin to a war, actually), are you on the side getting shot, doing the shooting, welcoming strangers (and being ostracized by "your own"), hating newcomers or ignoring everything? What do you think about yourself then? Death ain't all bad in dire circumstances.

Perhaps with more wisdom we might be able to solve our problems more effectively. Perhaps with more to lose (more years of life ahead), people would prioritize the future more.
