If Gamma and Omega are really so mystified by why humans don’t jack into the matrix, that implies that they themselves have values that make them want to jack into the matrix.
Just because they estimate humans would want to jack in doesn’t mean they themselves would want to.
Presumably, Gamma and Omega have a less biased world-view in general and model of us specifically than non-trained humans do of elk. Humans have been known to be surprised at e.g. animal altruism directed at species members or humans.
I hope for the sake of all Omega-based arguments that Omega is assumed to be less biased than us.

But are humans mystified when other creatures behave similarly to themselves?
“Those male elk are fighting over a mate! How utterly bizarre!”
