If you think of it, who is Lara Croft? Overprivileged rich British chick living in a mansion who steals and extracts historical artifacts, as a hobby, from third-world countries. But by the game's logic, those historical and cultural heritage artifacts are better off in a British museum or Lara Croft's mansion, which, by the way, is a crime by international conventions, and Lara Croft is just a petty contrabandist.
The same goes for Nathan Drake, who in sake of his own greed destroyed more than one invaluable historical locations fighting pirates and other criminal syndicates, instead of reporting those locations to the legitimate authorities of the host countries.
Imagine if both heroes would share locations of historical ruins to the authorities of the host counties. Usually, those countries are extremely poor and a real-life discovery of such location would mean huge changes to their economies: all the subsidies they good get from international investors and scientific communities, new jobs, development of touristic industry, etc. That is, such discovery would save millions of people from abject poverty instead of enriching a few assholes such as Nathan Drake and Lara Croft.
