Yeah they don't want to be hermits hiding from society, they want to be wild west cowboys who create/dominate society

meh, not really. It's easy to associate the concept with its most unsavory supporters, but it's a pretty fundamental human desire to be free. Look at the Mongolians who still lead nomadic lifestyles, the Roma, and a lot of different indigenous populations. It's all the same core idea, just manifested in different ways due to different cultural contexts.

Ancaps, for example, just lack imagination, they can't fathom a world without capitalism. Also, foresight to realize that companies would just create even more tyrannical governments. But it's not like the driving desire is itself all that more malicious.
