It's just a way of trying to understand how self-interested parties ought to (or will) operate in a given situation.
Your worry is about self-interest to the exclusion of all else. That is, perhaps, a worrying issue. But it's been an issue since ancient times. The introduction of game theory has little to do with it.
I'm concerned self-interest has too much sway in the world, and it's an unstable situation. In that regard, we wholly agree.
