The question is what causes this sensation that cryonics is a threat? What does it specifically threaten?

It doesn't threaten the notion that we will all die eventually. Accident, homicide, and war will remain possibilities unless we can defeat them, and suicide will always remain an option.

Even if cryonics does not in fact threaten the notion of eventual death, it might still cause the sensation that it poses this threat.
