Category of "murder/capitalism" is an interesting one. Do you think that the people who wrote Elite, for example, were so steeped in the values of colonialism or piracy that they were oblivious to the murder/capitalism subtext? If not, it must be human nature, I suppose.

Not so much that he (he's made several games like that) is oblivious to it, but more that it's the most easy thing to simulate in games, and also what people expect. You can do better, as games like Untertale or KSP demonstrate. But it takes a special kind of person.
