Non sociopaths don't condense everything down to the financial balance sheet.

There's the human cost, the responsibility to the people, the quality of life changes to consider. As Denmark is a nation that cares for it's citizens, it's unlikely they would willingly sell off a territory where said citizens would see a significant quality of life decrease.

New Male Birth Control Pill Succeeds In Preliminary Testing (time.com) 181

"A second male birth control pill succeeded in preliminary testing, suggesting that a new form of contraception may eventually exist," reports Time: The new pill, which works similarly to female contraception, passed initial safety tests and produced hormone responses consistent with effective birth control in 30 men, according to research presented by the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute and the University of Washington at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting. (The study has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal.) It's early days for the drug -- which has not yet been submitted for approval by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) -- but co-principal investigator Dr. Christina Wang, lead researcher at LA BioMed, says it's an important step toward effective, reversible male hormonal contraception....

Wanting to know who is at the door without having to go up to the door is not "being a busy body"

It's also far safer. The person on the other side can't shoot through the door and hit you if you're not near the door. They also can't use a key fob scanner on you because you won't be in range. Plus, you can see if someone is stealing your packages, and have proof of it.
