You are missing the part where the colonists go there on their own volition.
Trivia question: did you know that most of the Mayflower colonists died? Ahem, I mean, all of them died. All of us will die sooner or later, some people find it meaningful to go where no one has gone before, even if that means danger of death.
Isn’t that a bit like saying if you toss a 10-year-old off a boat, he has no choice but to swim?
The focusing effects of a clear goal are real and powerful. But lets not pretend that the default option isn’t death.
