I don't like it when governments and military contractors and billionaires gamble with human lives either.

Even if you can derive some utility out of the metrics doesn't mean it's good. One can find silver linings in many illegal things but that doesn't imply that it should be legal.

It's not only those groups though, for example a stable food supply requires an efficient commodities market. The utility is not just marginal.
