Because it's stupid to want to be a billionaire in the first place. You get diminishing returns in happiness past $100k/year, and no increase past $500k/year. They're wasting their lives for nothing.

They also never hear no. No struggle in life and people just become playthings. That breaks your brain - even if they weren't already broken, which they would have had to be to become a billionaire in the first place guilt-free.
