I personally would only conclude that it doesn't correspond to our typical (human) idea of aesthetics ...

Consider for example our own life: In the end always death is waiting for us ... would it be more economical/intelligent to die earlier, because the aim of the 'game' is death anyway, or is it nicer to 'play' as long as possible? :-)

It‘s not important when you die. It is important to give meaning to the time between birth and death.
