Loyalty is merit. Would you rather a civilization that simply discarded you when you have lost utility? This is poor long term planning that undermines the nation for short term intrest. Unless you have pledged your allegiance, your contributions and loyalty is short term. So obviously we are going to prioratize someone who has our back. If you have the education it is likely because you come from a privileged family. There is also strong corrupting ingrained into the system. Unless my last red envelope was given to me in error. There are men and women in your country of greater merit who are not given the opportunity. If we were truely acting on merit they would be hear, and not you. They would have been given the scholarship and the resources in childhood to succeed. I have met way too many entitled princelings lacking any of the virtues of a gentleman.
