Well, one could easily say, by the same token, that "it doesn't surprise me that the person with more assets would want a prenup." I'm not sure why one person asserting their interests here is greed but the other person doing the same is prudence.

its not always the case, take the case where someone with relatively little assets but bright career prospects(say a new lawyer at big firm)marries a girl with rich parents, but no job, the the "rich" girl's essentially broke - is hypothetically worth a lot, in this case all of the "poorer" spouses's earnings would be treated as community property despite the other spouse bein far richer and not contributing much to community property

Prenups seem like a good idea for the partner with more assets, which is more often than not a male. Women are much more likely to initiate divorce.
"In a survey of 2,262 adults in heterosexual partnerships over the course of five years, Rosenfeld found that women initiate divorces 69 percent of the time.
On the whole, they also reported less satisfaction with their marriages than men."
