Most things people do end up being a care of other people.
If nobody is beholden to any job or duty, and the machines do everything, who is to say I don't want to make every machine on earth dance in a flash mob? I cannot do that, because it would require other people to halt their use of the machines. Abundance is a false promise and one we should be quick to shoot down lest we surrender our future rights to the ones advertising it.
Removing the worth of people in their jobs removes their leverage in the constant resource allocation negotiation in the economy. Given that we just witnessed Elon Musk spend 20,000 average American lifetime earnings worth of wages just to be the new dictator of a social media company, I'm not sure that I want those negotiations to take place only among the giga-rich.
