If there are 10 monkeys in a zoo and they give them 10 oranges a day as a treat and one of the monkeys would hoard 6 oranges every day and left them to rot. Do you think that the zookeepers would keep an eye on it because it's clearly mentally ill or an asshole, or would they point at it and go: damn, that's one cool and smart monkey.

That's just what monkeys do and if you give the weakest monkey an orange the strongest will go and kill them.

Only if they are in captivity.

In the wilderness they share their resources. The strongest would defend the weakest, especially if they had an orange.
