It is difficult to speculate on these things but wouldn't those in Hell be the ones who consciously had not cared about suffering? Would you be disrespecting the sufferers to indulge them? Justice and mercy will always clash.
The issue isn’t either/or, though. If hell was purgatory, a temporal punishment, then I could understand it. But hell is eternal punishment. That’s not punitive or retributive suffering, that’s gratuitous suffering. At some point in an eternity of punishment, justice will have been met, and even the worst sinner will deserve mercy. And if God doesn’t want them around in heaven stinking up the place, he could at least do the decent thing and annihilate them.
