He doesn't cast people into hell they go there on there on their own because they has embraced falsities that prevent them from receiving grace.
Still immoral: even if someone directly wished to do themselves harm, the proper, humane thing to do is to stop them and get them help, not simply stand back with your hands in the air, all helpless, while they hurt themselves. That's why suicide prevention is a thing at all, and self harm is considered bad.

The big secret is that long ago some vaguely rational cookie has told Satan that what he's doing is just playing into god's hands, and so Hell is now full of an ever growing number of people all spending their time in peace and devoting a portion of that to getting back at god. The gates of Hell are open, it's just that people find it a much more equitable place to go about the truly satisfying work of bringing down the dictator who decided eternal torment was a fitting fate for anyone.
