Being prepared is being responsible. I don’t understand how someone equates being responsible to being selfish.

Exactly1 And being prepared is being considerate. Preppers would not be a burden on others. The unprepared would be a burden on others.

there should be a voluntary exchange, and for those that are not prepared, there should be some type of assistance rendered by the one who has not prepared (it could be cooking, gardening; perhaps doing guard duty or carpentry).

Those who haven't prepared who become burdens upon society are likely to do a very poor job of voluntary exchange of work. They have no concept of work. They want nothing to do with that four letter word. It's that EBT crowd and many in the kubayah crowd. Do we really want them doing guard duty?
