Yes and those options are still there. There are a lot of assisted suicide clinics throughout Europe. It's not like you are being forced to use these pods as the only option. I see this similar to the abortion debate where some folks want to impose their values onto others about the meaning of life. It's someone's body and therefore should be their choice.
I don't understand where the criticism is coming in. If someone chooses to end their life, it is ultimately should be their decision on how it is done and if this option is well-designed, easy to access, and approachable why write an angry opinion piece about what an abomination it is?
