The same applies to humans, no?

No it doesn't. When a humam gets wronged by what "is" they can likely feel or imagine a better "ought".

They can feel or imagine an "ought", but the point of Hume is that they can't argue for it.

And yet humans do, all the time. It's similar to Hume's attack on causality. You can't show that A caused B, but yet we all act like it's the case, when B always follows A. Kant's critique comes next.
