This sounds to me like one has been almost spoiled by the possibility of such incredibly large amounts of complex fun that more down-to-earth mundane levels look like they are close to zero.
Or maybe you have never suffered like many many in this world do an cannot imagine it. I’ve had more suffering than there has been fun in all of human history combined, and there are plenty of people who have it vastly worse than me. Wouldn’t be all that surprised it it’s a majority of humans. And I also wouldn’t be surprised if the average insect, obviously not capable of having any fun, produced a similar amount of suffering per hour being eaten from the inside out...

So how would you know this?
Incidentally, most of this reply isn’t that relevant for another reason: The OP and discussion isn’t about the exact status quo. It doesn’t for example rule out weaker forms of transhumanism which minimize suffering.
In the scenario we talking about there would be almost zero of those things, outweighed by the suffering by many order of magnitude.
