Honestly, as long as the rich assholes are dying and not the native guides, I’m seeing it as a honey pot situation. Not nice for the environment there, but still a net positive.
Didier Delsalle (born May 6, 1957, in Aix-en-Provence, France) is a former fighter pilot and helicopter test pilot. On May 14, 2005, he became the first (and only) person to land a helicopter, the Eurocopter AS350 Squirrel, on the 8,848 m (29,030 ft) summit of Mount Everest.[1]

Bad news for ya on that front…
Idiots have tried K2, which is more dangerous.
Rich don’t get you up Everest. Read Into Thin Air. The climb is horrifying, even with rich people gear and Sherpa’s.
Better living through technology.
