you seemed pretty sure before that you knew those reasons... isn't that why you made this thread?

Your question has Calvinistic overtones in it, and I believe there's a difference between those who would have prayed and those who did pray.
Depends on what they were praying for, don't you think?

Also, I'm sure that in the end, every person who ever goes to Hell will wish he would have prayed.
Was that the point? make them wish they'd done something, instead of give them a reason to do it?

No one on this earth can avoid affliction; and although the
afflictions which the Lord sends are not great men imagine them
beyond their strength and are crushed by them. This is because
they will not humble their souls and commit themselves to the will
of God. But the Lord Himself guides with His grace those who are
given over to God's will, and they bear all things with fortitude
for the sake of God Whom they have so loved and with Whom they are
glorified for ever. It is impossible to escape tribulation in this
world but the man who is giver over to the will of God bears
tribulation easily, seeing it but putting his trust in the Lord,
and so his tribulations pass.
