I think this axiom is not a true belief for many of the most powerful, especially the ones currently driving the technology financially. It feels like they disdain having to be human (especially as it concerns the human propensity to die). Even though they are, by at least capitalist standards, at the top of the food chain and (I'm sure from their point of view) the pinnacle of human civilization.
I think what many of these powerful people want is literally something like Cixin Liu's "The Last Capitalist" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_the_Benefit_of_Mankind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_the_Benefit_of_Mankind).
