As I pointed out, even if they were totally self-interested they would not want human agency replaced with AI agency, because they are humans.

“They would not want” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. There exists a group of people with influence in the AI industry who believe in AI successionism: https://spectrum.ieee.org/agi-worthy-successor

They would want their own agency. After that, we can’t assume anything. They might even think reducing the autonomy of us in the flyovers and replacing it with AI is for our own good.

People can not be trusted to preserve the agency of others. See history.
