This sounds like dogma specific to the culture you’re currently in, not some kind of universal rule. Throughout history many humans lived in slavery (think Rome), and a non zero percentage greatly enjoyed their lives, and would definitely prefer their lives than being dead. It is still an open question as to what causes positive or negative valence, but submission is probably not a fundamental part of it.
Submission, is a fate worse than death, regardless of physical suffering.
Submission is reversible. For example, if you’re enslaved by a rogue AGI, there is a chance that it (or some other entity) will release you.
The version of you who recovered from enslavement will be much better off than the version of you who died.
