Maybe because medically and scientifically induced physical longevity is a different mission. This isn't about the creation of a cultural empire. This is a man's antiseptic mission for super-agency over longevity at the cost of - - - spontaneity? genuine human connection? life's small pleasures? Throw in a little dirt and mud?
What kind of person genuinely wants to exist forever in this world? And I mean genuinely wants to exist FOREVER, to the extent that he is living the life of a sterile laboratory specimen?
Maybe because it's so overtly outside the natural human experience that it just doesn't sit right.
