The upper crust (the top 1/2%) want the 'herd' trimmed by 96%. This leaves 3.5% left to feed and slave for the 1/2% who will be living in Greenland on virgin soil drinking virgin glacier water and who run Earth's feudal system.

Half? You're a dreamer!

Why would they want so few people to oppress and exploit?

It's "their" planet. They deserve it because of their wealth. It's how greed works. Most people aren't overridden with greed and so don't understand the concept fully. It's a sickness... an addiction. So all they need are enough slaves to keep them fed and keep all their toys running (a couple million? Five?) and repair their vintage cars. You know, rich people shit. They'll interbreed and voila! The species will devolve back into tree frogs or whatever we came from -

and that will be that.

No way to stop it now, that time has LONG past. So, have fun. But hurry!

Less powerful mobs and they already feel the poors have bred beyond their usefulness and are now just a drain on the resources that the wealthy are destroying to make sure there's not enough abundance so remaining people have to rely on them to survive.

But more poor people means more mindless consumers, which means more profits. And if we know one thing, it's that what the ultra rich want most, is be more rich. They are hoarders after all. And they couldn't concentrate more wealth onto them, if there's no one to take wealth away from. Or maybe that's hypothetical doesn't really work ;)
