Some of the younger fronters agree with part of what you're saying, except for the "able to grasp far more of human potential" part.
We see no reason why singlets shouldn't grasp just as much of human potential (provided one's into that sort of thing, which we're not) as multiples. There's been tons written by singlets about other worlds and realities.
What we think concerns the dominant culture about us, if anything, is the idea of multiple persons in one body symbolizing lack of their control over the population. The existence of multiples implies that the government and dominant culture don't control as much as they think they do, and that scares them.
It's the same with pathologizing religious experience ("She talks to God? Okay, lock her up and give her these pills") or other normal life problems and experiences, control is paramount, or the economy would be affected! Can't have that!
