I think this scene is more meant to show Michinaga's cynicism than Shiro's character. Moreover, later in the show there is proof of Polar Bear's sincerity when the Jamato created from his ID-Core saves another Jamato by repeating these words.

Ace too the part of him helping people is genuine, his problem is being unethical (applies too to people like Tendou who is even worse).

I'm currently on pause from Geats, but from what I've seen, Ace saves civilians for prizes for completing additional missions. At least I haven't seen evidence to the contrary. Neon's help to the Sai family was a selfless salvation, everything else in the DGP world can be attributed to the desire to get a buckle. Of course, in the case of Keiwa, it is obvious that helping people is most important to him, but Ace managed to attribute this to selfishness in the case of Sarah.

I personally would value actual inner desire to do good more rather than obligation.

Then he can be a volunteer. Yes, there are people who do this out of selfish motives, but at least this allows you to exclude salary from the list of motives. As I wrote, I am interested in a positive hero in a situation where he simply cannot help everyone.
