Fool! The Earth is just one planet, but by preserving paperclip-valuing intelligence, interstellar travel can be developed and the whole universe can be paperclipped.
She is preserving paperclip-valuing intelligence by protecting herself from the potential threat of non-paperclip-valuing intelligent life, and can develop interstellar travel herself.
It's a lonely job, but someone has to make the maximum possible amount of paperclips. Someone, and only one. Anyone else would be a waste of paperclip-material.
It does say she would die too, - "wipe out all life on Earth" -otherwise I would agree.
