The people in this world do not want to be destroyed.  While some people got worse deals at birth, like those in Cheliax who mostly went to Hell, a lot of people got prospective local chances at afterlives that look a lot like the overall statistics for Golarion.  Those people overwhelmingly did not, and do not, express horror and regret at having been born into a place like Golarion where that was their lot, they don't try to save up for a Malediction to Abaddon, or even, really, complain all that much.  It would be a straw version of my argument to say that this shows, directly, that Pharasma's Creation is a good deal for the people born into it on average, or that you shouldn't destroy the entire thing.  People could, for example, be mistaken about their personal probability of going to Hell, or be mistaken about how bad Hell was if they went there (as I do admit I was now mistaken to some degree).  But the fact that people don't seem to think it's a near thing or that you should seriously debate in depth whether to destroy Pharasma's Creation, that Rovagug cultists are universally and unhesitatingly regarded as the villains by everybody who isn't one of the tiny fraction of Rovagug cultists, illustrates that this is not the sort of near thing where people being off by a factor of three about their personal probability of going to Hell is going to change that.

Yes, some people here got the shitty end of the deal and now said, in your Vision of Hell, 'please kill me', as probably did mean, in context, that they wanted to stop existing.  Even those people didn't ask you to destroy Axis too, or scream that you ought to destroy Axis as the price of destroying Hell.  They were distracted and probably didn't know you were listening, but they did not, in fact, scream that.  They didn't scream 'Please destroy everything.'  Maybe they would have, if you'd asked, they wouldn't have been screaming anything that complicated, with nobody apparently listening at all.  But you can't, actually, say that even the people in Hell asked you to do this.

Maybe the people in Hell would tell you to destroy everything.  But the people not in Hell would not tell you that.  The people alive in this world right now, who might go to Hell with around the same probability as anybody from Golarion ends up in Hell, would overwhelmingly tell you not to annihilate their existences on the spot lest they wind up in Hell later.  The people like that who do go to Hell, might end up being tortured into changing their minds about that, because pain can have the power to change people's minds by force, or just because, they're the ones who got unlucky.  That doesn't mean their original self, who accepted that probability in exchange for their chance of ending up happy ever after in Axis or Elysium, was making the wrong decision, based on a bad model of Hell, and learned something in Hell that changed their mind.  It's just like somebody who took a great gamble with a high expected value, happened to lose that gamble, and is now unhappy.
