Shelter costs have also increased massively, not only because shelter has gotten better but because there’s more room in people’s budget for landlords to capture. Medical and educational costs have risen in the US, I would argue for the same reason. And some adversarial work has expanded for no reason- look at all the effort spent in high frequency trading that could be replaced by venues running auctions every 100ms instead of having competitions for fractions of a microsecond.
