One might wish to avoid killing random less powerful entities if one finds them worth avoid killing for some reason. As a matter of fact, one would only kill them if one had a rational reason to do so. This assumes of course that one only makes rational decisions.
Personally, I find no reason to kill off less powerful entities unless they try to hurt me. Their species would hardly become more sentient by killing off them if they disturb me. If they do, I could simply remove them from the premises.
