It's filler bruh. In-canon doesn't indicate this. In-canon indicates Freeza actually treated him comparatively well, especially for a "dirty Saiyan". It's why the others were so bitter toward him.
I mean you don't think he was given a rank second only to Dodoria and Zarbon because Freeza hated him or wanted to abuse him, do you? And, as stated, Vegeta felt almost nothing for his people and their fate. He viewed their betrayal and Freeza's lie to be a personal slight.
Let's take a few steps back, actually.
Remember that Vegeta was the prince of his entire race. While he might not have felt much affection for his kin, it's reasonable to assume he had exceptional pride for them. He would never shed much of a tear at the death of, well, literally anyone else. But he himself admitted to his pride for his race being essentially stepped on by Freeza and he himself being humiliated by his forced servitude, and that it tortured and disgusted him greatly. Regardless of his position, he was a relatively low level warrior compared to the Ginyu Force, Dodoria, and Zarbon. Not even second rank, forced into servitude, and his entire race either in the same boat or killed off, all by one man? Yeah, he had every right to hold a grudge against Freeza. After his humiliating and utterly painful death at his hands, it would actually be dramatically appropriate for Vegeta to get to put him down once and for all. He's the one with the most history.

I honestly can't tell if you're joking. If you are, that's actually quite funny. If you're not...
... Freeza was a megalomaniacal tyrant who slaughtered and enslaved countless people, including Vegeta's race. While there might not have been any canon material present to use as an example of outright abuse toward him, Freeza enslaved, then subsequently destroyed, his entire race of people, and his home planet. Regardless of his lack of emotion during the Bardock special (of which, I might add, is suspect in terms of
canonicity), he openly wept over it in front of Son Goku. It hurt him deep inside, and there's no
justifying Freeza's actions.
Although, to be completely fair, they were all a bunch of evil, terrible assholes. But Freeza still had it coming regardless.
