I think that you're overestimating what dropshippers actually provide to the economy. Like Instagram-style influencers, dropshippers are ultimately advertisers; they create consumerist desires where none previously existed.

To quote from "Office Space":

> Bob: So, what would you say you do here?

> Tom: Well look, I already told you! I deal with the goddamn customers so the engineers don't have to! I have people skills! I am good at dealing with people! Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

Just like Tom, dropshippers are redundant at best and harmfully interfering at worst.
