I want to deny this, but I've heard enough people saying things like this. Not just things that have some degree of subjectivity, but things that are completely objectively true or false. Even claiming what other people's subjective experience or reasons must be OVER the actual person, because they feel it is.
One of the ways they test animal sentience is by whether they realize their subjective experience is not the same as another's. Humans are supposed to gain this ability when they're toddlers. It has been removed from these people.
You're talking about Theory of Mind. And yes, NPCs utterly lack it, whether because it was beaten out of them or because they never had it to begin with.
