I wouldn't say it is strange.
I wouldn't say it necessarily will or will not remain your opinion.
I think the idea is that if it was 'your' child, then you might feel differently. Sadly, you will only understand this once you have a child.
If games with parental aspects have taught me anything, I can easily get lost in stories around protecting children. I say children and not specifically the child of the character, because the main example I'd use would be The Walking Dead.
A lot of people are, with increased ability to choose in the matter, waiting until later in life to have kids and also limiting the amount they have. Once choice has truly entered the equation, the numbers will drop and have already obviously begun to do so, as this choice has become easier/more available, so you can argue the numbers will drop if we are to believe this trend would continue.
