In order to acheive the goal they've set forth, the thing they do care about, they have to have some level of care, "good" or "bad", for the obstacles that prevent them reaching it.

Allow me to present an analogy on why I believe that isn't the case. A computer, for instance, cannot think, reason, know, or care. It may have a goal and a set of instructions that are "through any means necessary, fulfil this goal." Or even if it were just "Fulfil this goal," it will likely not extrapolate any parameters for that. It does not care about the means at all, solely that it reaches an end.
