Actually it does harm the ones who don't get it. Beyond basic necessities of life, everything else we get is pretty much only good because it's better than what someone else gets. That's the essence of why discrimination is worse that just everybody being poor, and why high wealth inequality is bad even though most people have as much money as they need. It's emotional, not purely practical.
