Because what is "good" for society is highly subjective and endlessly debatable.

I don't really see how that's relevant. Even the most cursory examination of sports athletes would reveal that they do a very small amount of good for a very large number of people.

Someone could take the position that, although they do a small amount of good for a large amount of people, the money they are paid could provide more good for more people spent elsewhere. Thus, one could see them as being both "good" and "overpaid."
