I'd guess that the people who arguing for linearity are more extrapolating from their horror at the thought of their own death, rather than the pleasure of saving other peoples lives.
I hesitate to imagine others' death and suffering as my own (in other words, to really empathize), although doing so in the context of a good film or book is quite pleasurable.
