It’s not an unusual consideration in popular disorganized discourse. I’ve only heard ‘inequality’ as a consideration among rationalists in a more instrumental context, affecting aggregate utility in some way.

Well, Sean Carroll is a professional physicist and philosopher and he took it seriously a couple of times on his podcast, so the view is not obviously incoherent. It seems natural to probe the boundaries of our moral intuitions and see where they fail, and this one seems like a test case worth analyzing.
