Evolution is stupid
Pretty much. Data pertaining to organisms that don't leave progeny is lost. So when all escape routes are blocked, whether extreme pain contributes to the organism's chances of survival doesn't matter. It experiences the pain as a byproduct of the usefulness of pain for organisms that replicate.
