I agree that banning automation generally reduces "abundance" and is generally "wrong" without good reason. On the other hand, I don't see demand for manual labour as wrong - as long as it's a free exchange and the transaction is at a mutually agreeable price. I don't think it's morally wrong to want hand-made furniture when ikea exists. Likewise manicures, shelf-stacking or typing code into an IDE by hand.
