A simple analogy to humans applies here: Some of our goals would be easier to attain if we were immortal or omnipotent, but few choose to spend their lives in pursuit of these goals.
I feel like the “fairer” analogy would be optimizing for financial wealth, which is arguably also as close to omnipotence as one can get as a human, and then actually a lot of humans are pursuing this. Further, I might argue that currently money is much more of a bottleneck for people than longevity for ~everyone to pursue their ultimate goals. And for the rare exceptions (maybe something like the wealthiest 10k people?) those people actually do invest a bunch in their personal longevity? I’d guess at least 5% of them?
