Because they refuse to deny the fundamental reality that diverse humans /will/ have directly conflicting desires. That indeed that very diversity of interest is what makes us unique and precious.
To the extent that I can get what I want by helping you get what you want, that's great: it's called trade, and I'm all for it. But human progress is made by those people who want /more/ than their neighbor, and are willing to compete for it.
