I think what OP meant was the following. Having two people with the same, positive aims (e.g. be a good parent, do your job well), the agency-driven one will achieve more with the same hard work as the another. Therefore, for people around you, you would wish them to be more agenty as a default.

That’s generally described by words like “effective” and “high-productivity”.
Why are you assuming that people around me have positive aims? Moreover, what’s important is not just aims, but also the costs (and who pays them)
