There are plenty of people who have AGI timelines that suggest to them that either AGI will kill them before they reach their natural mortality or AGI will be powerful enough to prevent their natural mortality by that point.
True but there’s also plenty of people who think otherwise, other comments being an example.
I’m not a biologist, but I’m reasonably sure that fascia getting tenser would be downstream of the hallmarks of aging, if that’s what you’re talking about. It’s kinda like asking why “going to a boardgame party in San Francisco” isn’t on the list of covid transmission vectors. And in any case, SENS is far from being the only organization, there’s many others with different approaches and focus areas, probably one of them covers fascia even if SENS doesn’t.

I don’t think there’s a good reason to make that assumption. There are various factors that lead to fascia getting tense. Substances like fibrin keep the fascia contracted and don’t get automatically cleared.
SENS is certainly not the only organization and there are plenty of people who don’t believe that aging is as easy as just curing the hallmarks.
I would be very surprised if inflammation or loss of proteostasis did not have any effect on fascia, if only because they have negative effect on ~everything. But more importantly, I don’t think there’s any significant number of people dying from fascia stiffness? That’s one of the main ideas behind the hallmarks of aging, that you don’t have to solve the entire problem in its every minuscule aspect at once. If you could just forestall all these hallmarks or even just some of them, you could probably increase lifespan and healthspan significantly, thus buying more time to fix other problems (or develop completely knew approaches like mind uploading or regenerative medicine or whatever else).
