First point: by “really want to do good” (the really is important here) I mean someone who would be fundamentally altruistic and would not have any status/power desire, even subconsciously.
Then I’d argue the dichotomy is vacuously true, i.e. it does not generally pertain to humans. Humans are the result of human evolution. It’s likely that having a brain that (unconsciously) optimizes for status/power has been very adaptive.
Regarding the rest of your comment, this thread seems relevant.
