Obviously the film is quite open to interpretation and therefore will be interpreted (not incorrectly) differently by different people. As is, I imagine, the intent.
I will offer another interpretation. Alien life simply wishes to increase the survivability of its own alien life by 'evolving' other alien (to it) life. Left 'unevolved' the the other alien life could be a potential threat. In the extreme long run this prevents conflict and is not entirely altruistic. Although it does lead to a 'good' result for all.
