A big part of what makes the Shards "hell" is down to Ascian actions post sundering. Garlemald, Allag, the Void, the Sin Eaters. All came directly from Ascian actions. Same with the calamities.

People keep comparing the worlds or morality of the two groups without bothering to acknowledge that the state of the Shards has been fucked with by Ascians sense the start. We have quite literally no idea what the Shards or Sundered would be like in a world where they were left alone because the Ascians were actively making things worse for everybody the whole time.

Its literally impossible to compare the base state of the World or Unsundered vs Sundered to each other because the latter was being actively fucked with from day 1.
