Hmm. I’m not sure what you’re disgusted by. If the complaint is that humans (all/most?) aren’t pure, and have motives that seem gross and base, you’re probably right, but also probably not well-served by being disgusted—finding beauty in imperfection or just curiosity about what makes us tick might be better. That said, I’m not one to yuck your … yuck.
If the complaint is that utility theory is itself gross because it allows it, I don’t agree. It’s still a useful model, just that reality clashes with your preferences.
