Simple. Life support costs thousands, even up to millions of dollars, all depending on how long someone is kept alive. Whereas if someone ends their life voluntarily the cost is very little, say a shot to the head, slit wrists, or even the potassium from an IV drip from a full day's course being injected instantly (which is a similar amount used in lethal injections), but then the family needs to pay for the funeral afterwards.
