I think this is a point that many miss since we tend to think materialistically about wealth. But wealth is power and power inequality is a problem, no matter if your basic needs are met.
Trying to reduce inequality to a matter of exceeding a threshold of basic need is very disingenuous.
Outcomes in the legal system is one obvious example of how corrosive inequality can be to society.
