Why won't the Avengers help the "irrelevant" people?

On the TV show Person of Interest, each episode began with a narrative by Finch about the machine he built that detected threats to ordinary people whom "the government considered irrelevant. They wouldn't act so I decided I would".

In BvS, we saw Superman saving a little girl from a fire and the Flash stopping a grocery store robbery. In the JL trailers, we saw Wonder Woman come to the rescue when armed robbers take hostages.

But we've never seen the Avengers save ordinary people from a fire or stop a grocery store robbery or take down some hostage-takers. In fact, in SMH Tony Stark even points out to Peter Parker that helping the irrelevant people is below the Avengers' pay grade.

So the Avengers won't help anyone who can't afford to pay? If you're not in the highest tax bracket, the Avengers won't help you?

They seemed to save a lot of "irrelevant" people in the last acts of both Avengers films.

You're crediting the Avengers for saving people from Ultron, who was created by the Avengers? That's like calling an arsonist who set a building on fire a hero because the arsonist ran into the building to save a child from the fire that he started! LOL!!!

The child wouldn't have needed saving if the arsonist hadn't started the fire in the 1st place. And likewise, those people in Age of Ultron wouldn't have needed saving if the Avengers hadn't created Ultron in the 1st place.

It would be like if at the end of Return of the Jedi, the Rebellion decided to build a statue of Darth Vader because Vader killed the Emperor by throwing the Emperor down a reactor shaft. Sure, Vader killed the Emperor, after he spent the last quarter-century helping the Emperor conquer and terrorize the galaxy and kill billions of people. And sure, the Avengers saved those people at the end of Age of Ultron, after the Avengers put those people's lives in danger by creating Ultron.
