 Having to

 Ihatei are so troublesome because
 Aslan see *unoccupied* land as *available* land. They are
 constitutionally incapable of recognizing a technical claim
 of ownership to a world (or continent or island or . . .
 well, you get it . . .) where nobody's actually
 currently in residence.

And then there's the prestige/macho factor;

A male aslan can't be a 'real man(aslan)'(tm) unless he actually holds land.

I wouldn't be surprised if an impoverished aslan land-holder was more esteemed than a much richer but landless one..
