Is longevity just a scam to sell us expensive dirt and boring lives?

Serious question for the biohacking cultists: Why are we so obsessed with "living longer"? I see people tracking every heartbeat and walking barefoot in the park like they've lost their minds, all to add a few extra years of... what, exactly? If I have to spend my 40s eating grass and avoiding sunlight just to be a slightly more athletic 90-year-old, where's the fun? Is "optimizing" just a hobby for people who are too scared to actually enjoy a pizza? Convince me that "health span" isn't just a cope for the fear of mortality. I'd rather have a short life and a merry one than spend a century worried about my gut microbiome
