Improved living conditions are great, but not at the cost of ceding almost full control of what goes on in the world to a small handful of people. Even if many of them are benevolent for now, it may not always be that way. It's simply not a safe system. We need a level of opportunity for all to advance. And that means some level of economic equality for all. This is a matter of intrinsic justice but also more importantly a matter of practicality to avoid the hazards of slavery, corruption, dynasty and stagnation. Inequality has always been, and likely always will be. And this natural and its fine (like most things) within certain parameters. Inequality doesn't doesn't need to exist at these extremes. Its dangerous.
