people who say this are also guilty of an ecological fallacy.
Just because the average person thinks that their existence is a net benefit doesn't mean that a random person that you pick out will think that too.
They might think their existence is a net deficit, for themselves and the universe.

If someone then says that the average person must be right because of majority opinion, they are committing the fallacy of appealing to popularity.
Popular or majority opinion is no indication of truth or superior validity.
