If the afterlife is better, that doesn't mean that life on Earth isn't good. The afterlife is forever. Life on Earth is very short. So if you enjoy life on Earth, why wouldn't you want to experience it for as long as you can (which nevertheless is going to be an extremely short period of time)? There would be no need to hurry to the afterlife. But you'd want to milk something you enjoy but that's going to be very short for as much as you can. If heaven is perfect, then that surely means that the residents of heaven don't have regrets, including regretting dying too early. So the people in heaven would not share your perspective on this. But we're not asking why people in heaven don't do something; we're asking why people on Earth don't do something.
