I suspect the Prime Directive in Star Trek is a Graves 8 idea.
At 7, you have the awareness and ability to influence civilizations and eco-systems.
Even though 7s don't operate on ego, it's still singular discernment.
8 creates collective discernment for larger societal moves.

8 is a collective of 7s all capable of systems moves and together can make decisions that influence the trajectory or a country or continent...socially, economically, and even spiritually.
At 9, as possibly seen with the big reveal in the #Loki series, is a singular being capable of controlling the entire ecosystem themselves but only does so when absolutely necessary. A second tier dictator of sorts but not the same resource grabbing motivation.
This would mean putting themselves solely in charge of the fate of entire planet or species, in a way. This doesn't have to be a known thing, they don't need the egoic status or their name on everything but they see no other choice but to take control.
It's interesting to see second tier characters pop up in pop culture...Thanos, Dr. Manhattan, Ozymandias.
You get 3-Red characters as an Anti-hero at times...the 7 character can be seen as an anti-villain...doing what lower tiers would deem evil but to them its practical.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see more anti-villain characters showing up in stories going forward.
