Why would the value to me personally of existence of happy people be linear in the number of them? Does creating happy person #10000001 [almost] identical to the previous 10000000 as joyous as when the 1st of them was created? I think value is necessary limited. There are always diminishing returns from more of the same...
Most value functions that grow without bound like logarithms or even log log x also tend to infinity, though for you personally, you might think that the value of existence of happy people is bounded, but this isn’t true for at least some people (not including myself in the sentence here), so the argument still doesn’t work.
