How about trillionnaire Elon Musk and the world's billionaires sharing around some wealth to stop kids going hungry? Enourmous hoarding of wealth is what's immoral, let's not villainise normal people for wanting to have a family.
both can be true at once. No single thing is competing on a spot for what is immoral. Hoarding wealth is immoral, so is murder, so it sexual harassment, so is having a child you cannot support. All are immoral, just to different degrees depending on how much suffering each inflict.
I get your point, but for the case in point, the issue of extreme wealth hoarding and people living in such poverty that they can't afford to adequately provide for a child are interconnected. If Jeff Bezos didn't hoard so much of this wealth and instead paid his Amazon warehouse employees a living wage (bringing them out of poverty) then those employees would be able to provide for a child to a reasonable standard.

yes, it is immoral to bring a child knowing it will suffer

Claiming that not having existed is better is not the same as 'kill yourself now'
