This seems almost comically lemming-like. Fear of missing out . . . on dying?

> Getting frozen and brought back in the distant future, even if we assume you'll be in great health, means all your friends and family are gone.

(Assuming none of your friends and family were also frozen.) But more importantly, I wouldn't suggest that people should aspire to death because of losing all their friends and family. If starting over (in what's likely an unfamiliar society and culture) is all one's got, that's still something.

Mainly I find it grotesque that it might be a way to slip past death, but only for rich people. But I can't bring myself to suggest that it would necessarily be a better universe if they took the normal death route instead.
