That's how global optimisation works. Generally speaking you will always miss out on a bunch of local optima when you go for a global optimum. This was well understood by designers in metro systems like the London Underground[0] and road signs. When each individual strives for the best result for themselves (a local optimum) we often end up in a worse result for everyone (see tragedy of the commons, prisoners' dilemma etc).
