They definitely weren't capitalist, lmao. They only wanted to make the perfect system. You could consider their quest for perfection "greed".
They didn't really have to try, though, they had a great system in place. Humans lived long enough for turnover and plenty of energy provided. That glitch was an issue, but contained. At least until someone decided to fall in love. Then the whole system failed.
Probably the realist part of the matrix.
Humans as a battery is just a dumb concept.
Now utilizing humans for our biologically assembled computer (brains) so they could offload processing power, that woulda been smart.
Ya but even then if they're so smart just turn the globe into solar powered computronium.
The humans destroyed the atmosphere, there is no solar power if the sun can’t breach the toxic clouds.
I think that was the original concept - battery was the "for the masses" version
