Because we live in a world that is not homogeneous and are all enriched as a result. Ending up as one's own version of Howard Hughes, locked in a room with a gun and a pile of money, is unappealing to me.
I strongly disagree that we are enriched as a result. In fact if the world didn't have these conservatives in it we would have been much ahead.
And just because there are some people you don't want to associate with doesn't mean you don't want to associate with people - just that after compulsory schooling I don't want to talk with/spend time with about 80% of the world. That leaves a bit over a billion, so it doesn't matter.
