To point to what the Jedi said in an earlier post, the question is subjective and is asked from an outside perspective. This is what the situation would seem like to most people who live in the Western world in the 21st century. To a Qunari Saarebas raised in Par Vollen/Thedas in the different universe where DA takes place, the situation could be quite different. The Saarebas not only likely take comfort, even feel a sense of honor, achievement, and fulfillment by living the Qun, but as someone else pointed out, just as the Tranquil are spared the "bad" emotions (although I'd argue that no emotion is inherently bad), they're denied the "good" ones. They are not experiencing life. Saarebas do not live an easy life, but it's a life lived wholly.
Tranquil can be fulfilled in their lot too. Owain finds his state "agreeable" and is content with his job, and doesn't need to be collared, have his lips stiched, controlled with a rod and be told he's less than an animal every day of his life to achieve that.
Oh yeah, and for a Saarebas to actually tell you they're content with their duty to the Qun with actual words, it subsequently requires their death, yours and possibly their handler's too.
Fantastic system.
