Makes sense. More room for the survivors, more places to hide, more area for the "elite" slavers to have to cover to find us.
I don't think it would work out like they have planned. Right now, they have plenty of willing slaves to raise their own elite standards of living already boxed up in cities. Reduce that population, give humanity more room to spread out in, and suddenly those slaves disappear, and the "elites" would have to get a fucking job to survive at all... because they wouldn't have any underlings to beat on without first hunting them down and corralling them.
And that's a bigger job than they can handle.
