Most people die of cancer or heart disease which are painful.
You haven't provided a source for this
as i said 40% chance of cancer cancer is very painful
I have already addressed this claim. There are risk factors. It isn't 40% for everyone
so are many diseases of old age alsheimers, arthritis , trouble breathing etc.
Not every disease is debilitating. Some can be managed, some don't affect them as much. Plus it doesn't happen to every elderly person.
most humans over 65 need assistance with daily tasks. you had no idea you have no clue how bad pain can be or old age:
A longer lifespan can be a double-edged sword. You live for more years, but the later years may not necessarily be what you had in mind. We’ve known for some time that about 25% of older Amer...

From your link:
From the data, the researchers determined the percentage of older adults in five categories of function or adaptation:

Fine we can stop here. That's 56% of elderly people who at most need a cane to walk around. Is this torture? I don't think so.
- 21% needed someone to help them get around or with one or more activities of daily living
What does this imply? Driving someone somewhere? It is unclear
- 18% said they had trouble being mobile or performing activities of daily living, even with assistive devices and changes in the home
- 6% limited their activities and mobility, even with assistive devices and changes in the home
Ok this makes sense. So 24% have a very limited life okay.
And again from the website
There are a number of things you can do to help ward off becoming frail or disabled, or prevent either from getting worse. These include: list
And it lists all the things you can do to prevent that. So again, it's not gonna be the same fate for literally everyone.
And even if you do need an assistive device. Are you being tortured? I haven't met a single elderly adult who wants to ctb over having to walk with a cane. And that accounts for what 56%?
Are all of the adults who need assistance in terrible pain? I don't think so.
