1) Even if the cost of products approaches 0, consumers will still need some kind of income to attain them. UBI could help in that regard, but it's still a far way off.
2) The transition period might not be that pleasant. A lot of people will be left without any means to provide for themselves while the rest of society struggles to adapt.
3) Removing the need for labour will be a major game changer to our society. A lot of people will be left with a feeling of having no purpose and nothing to do. Fostering a culture of creativity to fill people's waken hours sounds like a good thing, but I fear there will be a lot of social unrest if people don't have anything to do.
