The first unit of a good serves the most important need, while additional units satisfy progressively less important wants.
That’s the real logic of the principle. It’s not really about whether we’re insatiable or not, just recognizing that we have preferences and do what we want most within our constraints.
Relax the constraints and we do more, but the extra things will be less valuable to us than the first things.
