Sure, and there's a secondary point where if the need for labor no longer makes wages the primary mechanism by which a corporation pays its way in society, we may need to compensate with other forms of tax or cost of doing business.
I don't directly begrudge a company or CEO their profits and paycheck, but if corporate profits are at all time highs while investment in infrastructure, education, healthcare, etc. are inadequate, that points to an imbalance that isn't being solved by the labor market.

Good. Less wasted human time.
And more wasted humans. Wait, but all the labor in the world can become machine learning experts and earn $500K pa by working for Google while circle-jerking here on how tech companies are evil.
Or redesign those stores to not depend on as much human labour.
