Everyone will die at some point anyways and instant nuclear obliteration seems like the better way to go compared to slowly vegetating away in a hospital bed or the infinite number of painful ways to die.

Its not just about how, but when.

I prefer to die a vegetable at 80 than die from a nuclear blast at 40. All those years can be spent existing happily

Eh, I’m the exact opposite. I don’t want to spend a single day as a vegetable.

I bet you change your opinion once you approach 40.
