It has not to do with resentment at all

It is about carrying their responsibilities to his kingdom with diligence

The talents, a thing of Great value then, represent the mandate to go about preaching and making disciples

Each of the receivers were expected to carry out their duties using the talents diligently, that is, doing said preaching/ disciples work

That one who worked against his master interest by hiding that talent, showed bad faith and a bad spirit and is to be a warning on the need to remain diligent in multiplying that talent, basically exhorting them to do "business" with it to increase it (that is, to keep on preaching and making disciples)

It's not about resentment
