DISAMBIGUATION OF CONFLICT VS COMPETITION
So you are trying to make the same point that I used to undermine the libertarian presumption of cooperation, instead of “why don’t I kill you and take your stuff”.
The reason is the dual use of the social term (rivalry) competition (together) into the commercial term, then applied to the natural sciences in the darwinian era.
So whereas the ancient world was full of EITHER conflict through predation OR competition through cooperation, the use of the term competition under the darwinian revolution ‘made ambiguous’ the term competition by scaling it from a commercial particular to a universal in the common vernacular.

Etymology
The word “competition” comes from the Late Latin word “competitio” meaning “rivalry”. The word “compete” comes from the Late Latin word “competere” meaning “to strive together”
