I agree completely. It's almost humorous (I've been guilty of thinking some of these before sooooo...) Though, I do wonder if it isn't completely selfishness, including instead a pinch of resistance to change as part of the social recipe that drives us. In some of my other comments, I've suggested it's entirely greed or selfish motivations, but reflecting on my own experiences, resistance to change fits the bill fairly well. (Excepting financial motivation as partial to the cause, mind you.) We are creatures of habit, after all.
