The framing of the conflict as being labor vs capital rests on the assumption that the economy is at Pareto optimality. The tech industry's narrative is the opposite: it assumes that there are still inefficiencies which can be removed, to the eventual mutual benefit of both capital AND labor.
I think what's happening is somewhere between the two extremes: the pie is still getting larger, but labor's slice of the pie is diminishing at such a rate that it's barely growing at all.
