The difference between demons and humans is that demons have different physical appearances, the family magic thing, they also have trouble with physical coordination with each other (like dancing and such), they have some issues with long term commitment or just with doing a repetitive action (not sure which), and about the prioritizing themselves part, they do that more than humans, generally, you would have a few humans who would go into action to save someone, but with demons, unless the other has some relation to them in some way, they wont lift a finger

And that folks is the fundamental social difference between Humans and Demons.
A solitary Human by itself is far weaker than a solitary Demon, but to make up for its own 'weakness', it groups together with other Humans to become a far stronger group, "Monkey together strong", this compels us to connect and help eachother in the name of survival, Iruma here isn't just feeling irritated and ill at the lack of selflessness because of his values, but also because of his Humanity.

The difference is probably that demons aren't huge hypocrites pretending they prioritise the safety of others when they obviously don't in practice.
Demons may be beings of magic, but ultimately they aren't that fundamentally different from humans, at least not by nature. In a way, Iruma isn't there to force them to do anything, but he is the "permission" to go against the norms of Demon society.
This story is very much an examination of nature versus nurture. At this point, Asmodeus must know he's technically stronger than Iruma, so his dedication must stem from something more. Sabnock may actually be one of the first characters to show "casual" empathy as well, noticing immediately and asking Iruma "what's wrong?". He's also completely unsurprised at Iruma wanting to help and doesn't hesitate to follow.
The Demons are teaching Iruma to be stronger emotionally, and in turn he is teaching them that empathy and friendship are not weakness. It's also refreshing that this far into the story, Iruma has gained the respect of his classmates by his actions, not by demonstrating physical might.
I notice a lot of people comparing him to Deku, but I don't think that's appropriate. His ability up dodge almost anything has been his own ability since the very first chapter. Iruma is becoming more brave, but his ability to dodge isn't magical. He's a better leader than Deku despite not even trying, and has much healthier relationships with his classmates. MHA has lots of great points – I have enjoyed it immensely. Still, Deku's character development and relationships are heavily tied to him learning to better use his power and improving his physical ability. Iruma's development is driven by his friends, even though he's no physically stronger now than before.
Note: One endless frustration I have with MHA is the absurd one-sidedness between Deku and Bakugo. Those two should have developed a cold distance long ago. Sabnock may see Iruma as a rival, and Iruma mostly sees him as a friend, but they generally treat each other well and the geniality clearly goes both ways. It's good that as a reader, I don't feel like the only reason they still talk to one another is plot armor.
