because they somehow have this idea that they own the rights to control others. Once you consider that you can force others to do anything, regardless of reason, you can begin to rationalize anything, and it will be "for the greater good" or "for their own good". They probably even sincerely mean it too.

you cannot perform crimes on others, thats about it. If someone comes to my house dying of cold, they have no right to demand I help them. I would be an asshole if I dont, and I think people SHOULD help, but you have no right to demand I do (and again, not saying I wouldnt, just that nobody gets to be entitled to it)
Unfortunately, we encounter far more complex scenarios, from "can the car dealership dump engine oil into the creek behind their maintenance bay?" to "we sold a product that provably killed thousands of people, but none in a way that can cause us direct individual liability".
Societally, we've largely decided we're all better off without a pile of frozen bodies at our door.

Eh, I know lots of people who are neither anarchists nor totalitarians, so I'm not sure this is true.
i said you CAN begin to rationalize... I didnt say most would do it about everything, but as is clearly evidenced here, many would about a great many things.
