>> The big players in this space all happen believe things about other people's intellectual property that are orthogonal to human flourishing. It appears to be endemic in their spaces.

They believe things that are contrary to human flourishing on a more fundamental level than their attitudes towards other's intellectual property. They believe in technopoly [1], where all things are subservient to the technology and must change to serve it, no matter the consequences to people. You see this in their attitudes toward artists and their IP, and even in the kind of future employment they envision: where machines do the enjoyable creative work and humans do mind-numbing, inhuman monitoring and review tasks [2].
