Where is the evidence that people need a "compelled purpose" ? Many people struggling to survive are not gaining meaning from being threatened by the constant insecurity of poverty, homelessness, poor nutrition and general stress from fear that someone else more desperate will try to take from you something you need. If this stress is removed from people's lives the thought is they'd have a better chance to actually figure out what they want to do and pursue higher goals than simply survival in a hostile environment. But seriously I've known quite affluent people who chose to work jobs because they wanted something to do not because they needed money and I think that people in general would probably be more engaged with whatever activity they actively chose vs. the ones they we're compelled to do. I also think that there is a general idea that certain people have that they are somehow better than other people and while they might be able to choose a higher goal the "poor" would just be lazy and do nothing with their lives. I tend to believe that a lot of the reasons people are "lazy" is because they understand or believe that the game is rigged. Any way you look at it our economic system does tend to highly favor those who were born into situations where they didn't have to worry about money constantly and so I tend to believe removing that worry one way or another should be a basic goal of humanity in general.
