You think you’re disagreeing with me, but you’re not; I would say that for you, death would be a kind of suffering—the very worst kind, even.
I would also count the “wipe out all life” scenario as an extreme form of suffering. Anyone with any compassion would suffer in the mere knowledge that it was going to happen.
If you’re going to define suffering as ‘whatever we don’t like,’ including the possibility that it’s different for everyone, then I agree with your assertion but question it’s usefulness.

It’s not what “we”—the people making the decision or taking the action—don’t like; it’s what those affected by the action don’t like.
