Maybe. But that depends on what exactly are the terminal resource-seeking objectives, it’s not clear that in this story they would go far enough to directly talk of dismantling whole planets. On the other hand, dismantling whole planets is instrumentally useful for running experiments into the details of fundamental physics or building planet-sized computers or weapons against possible aliens, all to ensure that the objective of gathering strawberries on a particular (small, well-defined) farm proceeds without fail.
