Forget the exclusivity, what we're talking about is the summum bonum: the ultimate goal according to which values and principles are established.

A person whose summum bonum is maximum comfort and security will have a very different life than if they had instead pursued creativity, justice, progress, etc. above all else.

We're not talking about the abolishment of comfort and security, but rather their subjugation to what is greater.
