The loss of opportunity is a harm regardless of whether it is experienced or not. For example, you could not get a job because of a false rumor. You didn't know about the rumor. Nor did you know that you didn't get the job because of the rumor. Even still you were harmed by it.
Someone who is never born doesn't just fail to gain an opportunity (not technically a "loss" of opportunity because you can't lose what you've never had)... they don't have to suffer either. And again, if no one was born the world would stop being fucked up. Death=bad, not being born=neutral or good.
