Productivity of work has increased extremely in all the years though, which easily could compensate for that if it wouldnt be wasted for less important things:

  I do not see how one can easily make that claim. The amount of healthcare, and other services that someone can consume while not being able to work, is massive and has not been automated away. From daily things like cooking, feeding, bathing, etc to healthcare providers providing physical therapy, massages, consultations, to work around the residence like plumbing and electrical and otherwise swinging a hammer. I do not see automation picking up these tasks in the near future, and the number of man hours demanded for them seem to be getting larger my whole life (more old people, living longer, and more healthcare options).
