Money is not linear in utility. Even granting that risk-neutrality in utility is the only rational approach, risk-neutrality in money does not follow.
Indeed, you are correct.
In my finance education, professors always argued that your money curve should be as close to 1:1 with your utility curve as possible. Granted, that's a dubious setting. Probably correct for money managers, but not for humans in daily life.
