This is what the beast tribe quests in ultima thule I posted screenshots of addressed directly, though? That was not the end of their stories. This was Meteion, the hyper-depressed suicidal villain, and notably biased source, talking about the problem that she directly caused. We deal with the fallout of that in those quests and end up saying that, actually, life is good, and that longing for death is bad, and that even though these beings in Ultima Thule are "just" the memories of bygone civilizations, they're still just as "alive" as we are in this new existence and should go on living as they are.
