> But in many cases, goals have economic rewards that make them more salient or powerful

If you're making a Faustian bargain / selling your soul and going against your own principles just to make money at all costs, then such goals are immoral. Instinctively we know what the right thing to do is, and aligning goals with your own moral compass is much better.
