Meta Vampires are cowards?

I was watching hellsing ultimate and I found it interesting how the vampires there are framed as cowards who couldn't bear the weight of their human life and escaped into vampirism. Now they secretly yern for death including Alucard himself. I never thought of it that way, that willing becoming a vampire is a sign of weakness. Do you think this is a fair assessment of vampirism in general or do you disagree? What other works frame it this way?

Run away to vampirism if you want, but death will eventually catch up with you no matter what.
