The “utility monster” has ceased to be a utility monster because it no longer gets everything.
Can this be resolved by adding more monsters? I.e., instead of having just one utility monster on Earth, we could have a million or even 6 billion monsters (as many as there are humans). This would allow the monsters to fully benefit from consuming “everything” or at least close enough to “everything” to raise the dilemma.
Definitionally speaking, “making each human into a utility monster” is the same as not having any utility monsters at all; utility-monsterdom is a relative property of one agent with respect to the other agents in the population.

There are other agents in the population than humans.
