I don't see this happening as a net result. There are just too many powerful (wealthy) interests working multiple angles to ensure that a vast majority of any gains go to the top.
There will be faux gains or benefits which appear substantive but are either offset by some new life cost (such as inflation, but not necessarily so great and complex) or are outright new expenses.
