Because the people who came up with it assume it would have the same ego as them.
It's also just Pascal's wager in a robot costume.

Roko's Basilisk pisses me off so much.

The reason all the weird "rationalists" are worried by roko's basilisk is because it basically uses all of their dumb arguments for friendly AI against them.
