I don't think it's a horrible world to live in if you elect to live in it. If that's your choice, to give up all that agency. My issue as an adult is that it's such a secret about the outside world. That they don't tell people about it and let them choose.

It must have been a choice in the beginning of that utopia. It would be hard to deal with raising kids in that world without indoctrinating them too heavily. The only way I could see it working would be having people grow up in the outside world and then, once they reach a certain age, make a choice about where they want to spend the rest of their lives. The only issue I think people could see with that is that once they give up the agency, they can't make the choice to go back. But that's their freedom. It's like any other permanent decision (e.g committing suicide); once you do it, you can't go back nor will you even be conscious of wanting to go back. Doesn't mean it's the wrong choice though and the freedom to make it is important.

That book broke my heart. I read it in middle school and it was so sad. But I really enjoyed it too, ethical issues and all. I think that's what makes it great. If the 'utopia' were truly a utopia in every way, it would be a boring book. I think the main point of utopias is that they only work if everyone has the same goals and sees the same things as good/bad. If even one person doesn't, it ceases to really be a utopia, which is what makes these kinds of stories cool.
