Not necessarily. We actually know next to nothing about it. For all we know, it could be just a bunch of greedy men running the hybridization process, producing Claymores. Then they send the emotionally screwed up Claymores to kill random Yoma and collect all the money. They probably make very good money out of it, so that alone could be their objective. In that sense they would be little concerned about the tools that do the actual work, the Claymore girls, that is. As long as they have enough in the pool to kill the Yoma attacking villages.

They seem basically to be mercenaries, killing Yoma case by case, so losing their top 5, while a loss, may not really be any serious setback for them as long as they still have enough Claymores to produce money. Enforcing that strict rule of not killing humans probably ensures two things: The larger populace / rulers won't bother them and on the other hand the Claymores are easier to keep under control when one mistake results in a punishment performed by the whole community. This allows little independence for the Claymores.

But of course we don't really know.
