Type (1) 'altruism' has various flavours.

Two oligarchs colluding is one.

Selling out to olligarchs may be another.

Both of these seem to be increasing "perceptions"

Yeah, "win-win" does not imply "wealth-creating". Negative externalities can cancel out the wealth creation or even push it into the negative. However, a lot of people who talk about wanting to "change the world" do genuinely want to make the world wealthier.
