Why does my empathy have to extend to them? For all you know I could already volunteer at shelters and shit.

It doesn't have to extend to them, but people, who do have at least a tinsy amount of empathy for all living creatures that can feel pain, will likely view you as a monster if you literally feel nothing for them. That's pretty much the only disadvantage, unless you want to be viewed as a monster by many people. I'm not saying that it should determine whether people view you as a monster, but that's just the way it is.

empathy for all living creatures

There are living creatures that you do not even know exist. I hope you feel bad when they die because if you don't then you are a monster.
