Shortage is a driver to creativity. This is what made Picasso become famous and outstanding on his way: Picasso intentionally constrained himself to only use lines, very simple shapes and single colored areas as his toolbox. Although he could paint photorealistic portraits when he was a teen, he intentionally constrained himself to unleash creativity. It’s the limited amount of tools that we have, also when programming (a few constructs like if/then, loops, boolean, integers, etc.) which make us think “how to express this certain idea best?”. If you have boundless resources, there’s no importance to be creative.
