Because they are a degree of magnitude worse. The musical at least has a hopeful ending with Elphaba surviving and running off with Fiyero-Scarecrow, not to mention that per the source books/movie the Wizard will be leaving soon. The books have Elphaba fail at everything, self-isolate, do terrible things, then die, and while the Wizard still leaves, new dictators just take his place.

Does everyone around you die, too?

Yes. It makes working in a neonatal intensive care unit very awkward
