They were probably used because the Inca needed to sacrifice for religion but they were still humane. We're talking about people, not very different or separated in time from you and I, but with different religious practices.
It only takes a little distance to see that religious practices elsewhere lead to death even today, and one would hope that those would not be painful deaths.

An example: https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/kerala-human-sacrifice-victims-were-brutally-tortured-says-probe-168799 https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/kerala-human-sacrifice... I am curious if there is evidence that this is for analgesia or for something else.
