> But in real life many people show their basic disinterest in money simply by choosing to do things and pursue activities that have no financial incentive. So in fact most people are above money.

Usually the preference of staying in the comfort zone comes first, and preference for money later. People will grab money if it comes with low effort and risk. However I wouldn't say that there is generally "disinterest in money", just disinterest in money in the sense that other factors are overvalued above it.
