History has proven time and over it's generally a very bad idea to be dependent on others' good will that is by nature self interested and ephemeral.

I think people are interested in their basics, income, job, family before any other priorities.

Some people infact become so paranoid about this they may overlook even support unethical action as long as they are safe.

Surveillance, profiling and dark patterns by leading SV companies including Google, Facebook, Palantir etc composed of tens of thousands of engineers who may at one time have loudly proclaimed contrary values is just one example of this.
