I just have a hard time seeing someone trying to help you as an unethical behavior.

It does depend on whose definition of 'help' they're using.

Good point. Do you think it would be ethical if they were helping to fulfill your preferences?

Usually, yes, though there are several qualifications and corner cases.

Agreed, there probably are.
