This isn't a defense of pre-capitalist ruling classes, just that material needs drove their surplus accumulation. More food, more weapons, more men, more horses, bigger house, bigger fortifications etc
Not the relentless pursuit of profit itself.
of course it isn't. i just also want leisure and security from barbarians (transphobes, landlords, etc)

There is at least the idea that one could eventually have enough material needs met to relax - the profit motive has no limit
