I think the usual idea is to fix aging - so young people are not more joyful people.

Until then, cryonics does seem like a bad move - from society's POV. Having big freezers sitting around doing nothing except burn up fuel serves very little useful purpose to society. Those resources could be going into living scientists or engineers - who would make a more positive contribution to the world.
