Greed.
It rewards greed above all else. The desire to hoard and take more than you need. And only through your greed for yourself will be able to overcome the others in your life that hold you back from what you desire. It isolates and it rewards you for holding yourself separate from others.
It rewards greed.
Theres a reason western european dragons are so popular over chinese dragons or mesoamerican ones. Hoarding is seen as a genuine skill
The mesoamerican dragon deities aren't popular because europeans genocided those cultures.
The loong/snake-like dragons are plenty popular, Tolkien just has gorilla grip on pop culture.
