Because there's no inate ethical objection to someone being immortal if you aren't adherent to a religion that prescribes that humans CAN'T live forever.
If someone's immortal through metahuman ability, that's not their fault and they have to make the best of it. How someone makes the best of that - I don't know. Haven't actually seen someone pull it staying a decent person after a couple hundred years.
If they make themselves immortal by choice, isn't it already obvious? Unless they're going to make everyone they care about immortal at the same time, they're going to watch everyone they know die. Maybe they'll try to have another life. But after the first few iterations, how long until they completely divest their kind on an individual level? Start thinking they're above it all. Scratch that, they already think they're above it all if they don't make everyone they care about immortal.
