If all of the planet was under the same fiscal and administrative umbrella, it would make perfect sense to put resources into developing all of them. It wouldn't make sense just to go steal oil from some country, it's already yours and letting the infrastructure rot there is your problem. Skin in the game? Oh and there is already a massive mobilisation of people from many areas, and either way it's gonna keep getting worse unless something changes drastically.
I know a guy who is trying to put significant resources into developing a region of Africa yet he is met but so many roadblocks from that region's government.
I say that to say this: it isn't from a lack of interest in developing poor places that those places are poor. The capacity in the people themselves already exists in those places to make them great. What's stopping them is their governments.
