This is not exactly true. The Dark Wraiths (led by the primordial serpents) are trying to usher in the Age of Dark. This is letting the Abyss consume the world... which is bad for humans. We can see this in Oolacile, a town which was overwhelmed by the Abyss. The Dark is not a place where humans can thrive. Plus, in extinguishing the First Flame, it is very likely that everyone will hollow. In the opening cinematic we see hollows crawling towards the fire an in the present day we have humans with humanity. Humanity comes from the Dark Soul which was found by the Furtive Pygmy in the Flame. Without the flame, there will be no humanity.

Frampt has got it good since even if you extinguish the Flame he will rule the new dark world with Kaarthe, however, if you link the flame by bringing all the Lord Souls including your own Dark Soul back to the First Flame, you will allow humanity to continue thriving (possibly forever) whilst simultaneously taking care of every Lord or bearer of a powerful enough soul that can challenge him... all except little ol' Gwyndolin hiding away in the Darkmoon Tomb. Frampt is the Kingseeker (much like Richard Neville) but you are not to be the king for you are to sacrifice yourself as Gwyn did. Perhaps Gwyndolin is to be the king hiding behind the illusion of Gwynevere, and behind him... is Frampt.

Basically, you are being manipuated any which way you slice it.
