I have a friend who yells MONOPLOT whenever we're watching a movie in which the characters get into zany situations because of monogamy. It's caught on and now we all groan MONOPLOT together whenever the conflict would be immediately resolved with just a little polyamory.

It kinda feels similar to saying "well won't the gay try to have sex with the straight guy?" And it's like well I'm sure that happens but it's a terrible strategy if you want a functioning relationship

Sexual attraction is not the same as relationship style. I don’t get to choose who I’m attracted to. You could make the argument that someone is born poly but I think it’s more contextual than that wouldn’t you agree?

It’s called “poaching” because it’s done in secret. Frowned upon by most people. Getting caught has blowback. There’s some E.P. literature on it by David Buss. Think it’s more about conversion than wanting a monogamous partner. Benefit is larger pool of potential partners.

Or what’s more likely is that poly’s look at people in monogamous relationships as fair game for causal sex (not as potential partners) which disproportionately destroys monogamous relationships, thus the risk/reward is lopsided between the two groups.
