Many of them did suffer though, especially a whole lot of a hell more than the scions ever have since like….Heavensward lmao, idk what it would be “insulting.” Look at Ilberd for example. He watched his people reduced to being slaughtered and turned into slaves on a daily basis. Gaius who had to watch his kids all die one by one. That’s only the tip of the iceberg. In comparison the scions get off scot free time and time again. They’re immune to loss amongst themselves since they can even come back from the dead now, and for yshtola it’s happened 5-6 times. So yes it’s incredibly hard to sense that they’ve really lost much when the themes of the game don’t apply to them.
