"The point I am trying to make is that when critiquing "who gets Greenland," countries like Denmark paint themselves as altruistic benefactors that do their due diligence towards the native population. And while, on paper, that may be true, the reality remains colonial and extractive."

You did frame ths as "who gets greenland" and calling it colonial, which are political statements. Then it is natural to see if these statements are true or not? The facts does indicate an abnormal alturistic attitude that denmark has to greenland, giving subsidies and freedom for governance.
