the way I read the comment, it's a way to create a new lower class - while propping up landowners.
"enriching wealthy landowners and providing sub-standard housing to the lower class"
While I don't think all or most 'average home(land)owners are "wealthy" ' - It is an interesting view to consider - there is an income bracket that could afford these in someone else's backyard - and likely never save enough money for a down-payment on a similar located chunk of suburban land - and being in that spot you may see the average homeowner as being wealthy comparatively.
Just because I read it that way, does not mean that's the way the OP intended it - I dunno what the full though process was. This may simply reflect the cascading experiences I have had and lead me to think of it in that light.
I myself hope that ADUs are a standard option in all zoning across the country and only in rare cases prevented.
I can see positive and negative things coming from increased housing supply in areas, i think it's fair to consider many side effects and consider ways to buffer any negative effects as well.
