I agree, but it's not a very scientific claim. There are many confounding factors here: power dynamics, social status, educational background, and cultural norms. When we are attempting to discuss personal preference you need to control for those factors, if you can even control for the amount some of those things are internalized. That's why they have done studies like this with babies, who are not yes affected by those factors. Even with bonobos, it's hard to say what these animals "liked" and what they did simply because allying yourself with someone powerful allowed some benefits.
