Omohundro's paper was about The Basic AI Drives. The abstract says: " We identify a number of “drives” that will appear in sufficiently advanced AI systems of any design".
Social drives are arguably not very "basic" - since they only show up in social situations.
I'm sure such machines would also have a "drive to swim" - if immersed in water - and a "drive to escape" - if encased by crushing jaws - but these "drives" were judged not sufficiently "basic" to go into Omohundro's paper.
