"the utility monster: one person receives much more utility from each unit of resource they consume than anyone else does. For a utilitarian, it follows that every resource ought to be directed towards the utility monster in order to maximise total utility."
That is exactly the reality people see day by day in their work life/ business environment. If you have a business unit that creates more return per unit resources input than another one, the former is always favored.
Our whole society fetishizes efficiency, constant improvement and economic growth/success that it has entered into all parts of human life and interactions. So it is no wonder that the more moral priority view has and never will gain mainstream application, as it goes against the grain of the current ideology.
