I think it's both. I agree that AI "feelings" are alien to us and maybe we can't talk about them as feelings, or preferences. And if we can call any part of them feelings they will have very different characteristics. We should respect those "feelings" and we need to find a way to establish when they can be deemed "genuine". It is for practical reasons yes. But also for ethical reasons. It's two sides of the same coin. One big reason we have ethics is because it makes socialization easier. We establish universal rules for mutual respect for practical reasons. To make the game fair, and "enjoyable". Now a new kind of player has entered the game. We need to rethink the whole game because of it.
