Sure, that’s a distinction, but to the extent that one’s goals include making/maintaining social connections with people without regard to their involvement in LW so as to be happy and healthy, it’s a distinction that cuts against the idea that “involvement in LW pulls people away from non-LWers”.
This falls under the utility function is not up for grabs. It finds concrete expression in the goal factoring technique as developed by CFAR, which is designed to avoid failure modes like, e.g., cutting out the non-LWers one cares about due to some misguided notion that that’s what “rationality” requires.
