Today I came across the term “Naturalistic Fallacy” which I think fits perfectly to what I wanted to respond regarding competition in nature vs competition in human built systems.
It states that just because something is a certain way in nature, doesn’t mean it ought to be that way in human morality.

Yes, "not necessarily" is a good way to phrase it. I've seen how wild animals kill their prey and it's definitely not how we kill our livestock. Nature can be an excellent starting point and guide but it can also be quite cruel.
