I feel like that is a valid argument when talking 7 figures. "I'll decline $3 million because I feel 4 is coming". This makes sense because we are talking about real difference making dollars. But the difference between $3 billion and $4 billion to 2 people is not going to make a difference to your lifestyle, maybe your children's, children's, children's lifestyle.

Sure, it is enough to be sitting on a beach for generations, but they might be looking at sending robots to fetch asteroids, or something equally outlandish. Then betting on an extra few billion might make a lot of sense. Also, there is the possibility that shouldn't be discounted when people refuse to sell, which is that they actually have a plan and want to try and execute it.
