I believe the argument on your point 3 is that those 5 augmented with AI would be able to do way more. But that requires the company to widen its goals, to change and augment its strategy as well, and this doesn't happen over night. The immediate goal is to lower costs because that's the simplest thing and understood by all, so they reach to AI to do that aka fire people. I know the company I describe here is "traditional" but I'd say right now all are like this. What will come next, how the new companies will augment themselves (not only augment their workers), we will see.
