I’m probably getting philosophical here but my personal thought is that - at the end of the day (most if not all) people/anyone/humans like to be on top of “something” rather than to be on top of “everything but nothing meaningful (to anyone else)”. reminds of this one Superman adventures episode with Bizarro (a very uncanny anti-superman) - Superman brought him to an empty desolate place (planet) to prevent him from accidentally destroying earth since in his head he “always wanted to be” superman”. bizarro had an entire planet to himself where he was god, king, law and lawyer it - he loved it. is that normal or human? hell no. He’s Bizarro. People will go elsewhere and enjoy human things like life-satisfaction, culture, family, friend networks, etc whatever else people like . life goes on.
