I guess you can convince to want something totally different like bliss, moksha or whatever but the basic instinct to want is still there . Not sure why that particular form is more desirable. I know some personally and they constantly struggle with wanting that not being able to achieve.

Wanting to not want is still wanting, I suppose. But it misses the point to frame it that way. The argument that we innately have endless desire is just not true. It is a quality particular to certain people.
