You sort of figured it out. Humans have been cruel to eachother since the beginning of time, because we are not all in this together. It isn't 'team human.' It's a nice sentiment, but nothing more.
Because again, the question comes down to 'What are you willing to give up?' And the near universal answer is 'not very much.'
