Do they, or does their bias just change?
In my experience, people value themselves vastly more than they value other people. Ergo, if you replace them with someone else, they consider it a huge loss in utility.
It's possible that rationality tends to bias you away from your natural impassiveness to large groups and other "far" situations. There's a post on this, "Shut up and divide". But there do seem to be genuine biases leading to underestimates of their suffering, not just knowing about it and not caring.
