Which of the following would you rather?:
a) I cut off both of your thumbs, but I give you a billion dollars.
b) I give you a billion dollars, and leave your thumbs intact.

Sure, he can give them bliss, but it would be without the character building. The character building brought out in the world with suffering along with bliss, is higher. Since the character building is a perpetual reward, it's worth trivial suffering which is nothing compared to infinite bliss.
