It's only cheaper to invest in automation right now because those individuals who are paid to create said automation are paid well under what they should be. What if software engineering, hardware design, and all the other positions required to create autonomous things were paid 3-4x what they are now? Sure that wouldn't necessarily be the case in the future, but certainly right now it is. We should stop looking at the bottom and look at the top. CEO take-home has increased by orders of magnitude, making the bottom completely untenable.
