Because suffering is suffering. If we distinguish suffering of good people from bad people then we have to expand this to a spectrum, the best people suffering is the worse, and worse people suffering is the best. But then it's all just relative, who is good, who is bad is your opinion. Most rational people would consider their own suffering to be the worse.

People who want to suffer (it’s a common enough feeling) often do so because they feel they aren’t good enough.

And when a really horrible person gets comeuppance we rejoice and when a great person suffers, we do too. Well, except for Will Smith.
