My thoughts aswell, but if it's available that's better than not having it

I dunno. To me, I can't think of a worse feeling than knowing there is a cure for my mother's disease, but because we aren't rich, she will be forced to die from it rather than being saved. That's torturous.

So you’d rather no one has it?

I'm pretty sure that's not what they meant.

Isn't that basically the same thing as limiting it to the super wealthy?

No, because if the technology exists it usually becomes available to the less wealthy over time as newer technology replaces it.

It's not ideal or fair, but if I had the choice between getting a cure 10 years later or not getting a cure at all, I'd opt for the later.
