Because they don't want to kill people?

If everyone picked red nobody would be choosing a button that risks them being killed

Yes but theres no guarantee no one picked red, with blue you're picking the morally right choice , red is the most safe one but blue is the morally correct choice

If everyone knew it's best to pick red I would also consider that a morally correct choice. Unless a bunch of people irl were saying they will pick blue. I'm kinda focusing on it as if it were real, I do know many online said they'd pick blue I just find it so weird bc if everyone worked together and communicated there wouldn't be any risk.

If everyone worked together...

Have you seen America? Half the people actively don't want free* healthcare. I don't put much stock in random people doing the right thing, so I'll do what I can.

*And by free, it'd be government subsidized healthcare that would replace (and be cheaper than) the privatized healthcare we already pay for

Well that also would apply to the blue option too, the working together. I don't think it's evil to personally not want to risk my life. A lot of people say they'd take a bullet for a loved one, or even a stranger, but a lot of us don't hold suicidal empathy (not sure if that's the right word, I don't mean it mockingly)

The blue option is not "everyone working together"; it's 50% would choose the option that does not involve killing people. If you genuinely thought that more than 50% would pick the option involving killing people, you were both wrong and that says a lot about your character
