I was with you until "lest we halt human progress in its place"
Look back on history and I bet all the things you think of as great achievements in human progress were the result of the leisure class's hobbies. Especially Math and Science!
Theres a darker reason why the majority of people won't be enjoying leisure- because the power to force people to work is actually a pleasure and a value of the ruling classes, and nearly everyone has internalized it.
Thats why you hear an outcry against welfare or basic income, but not a peep about trust funds or inheritances.
