These intuitions (at least, my versions, insofar as I have some version of them) seem to be more about harm vs. edification (I mean, damage to / growth of actual capacity) rather than experientially-feels-good vs. -bad. If a child loses a limb, or has permanent developmental damage from starvation, or drowns to death, that will damage zer long term ability to grow and be fulfilled. Eye strain is another kind of lasting harm.
In fact, if there is some way to reliably, significantly, consensually, and truly (that is, in a deep / wholesome sense) increase someone else’s agency, then I do think there’s a strong moral obligation to do so! (But there are many difficulties and tradeoffs etc.)
