That is interesting and I think it's a popular opinion. I think in line with the Epic of Gilgamesh or the Old Testament.

But allow me present another opinion.

Snakes don't do things they don't have to do. They don't kill for no reason (cf humans, cats). They do what they have to do, without much emotion or fanfare. They shed their skin and don't carry extra weight. In other cultures, a snake is a symbol of wisdom, rebirth and healing (eg the rod of Asclepius).

Outside the symbolic arguments, I think snake venom does have some research use (eg blood thinners) and some would argue snakes are mechanically cool.

Just another perspecive ofc, and I respect yours.

In the end, snakes want to survive in a competitive world.
