But wouldn't this make them ideal drones? A workforce that needs no outside resources, and is biologically immortal to boot, seems ideal to me. And the Zetsu already display a subservient nature, happily and faithfully serving Madara, then Obito, and now presumably Kaguya (if her current crop is allowed to fully mature, of course, which almost certainly won't happen).
