Over-consumption is a one-way implication with unbounded desire, not a two-way implication.

We're fed to the point we have obesity, but most of us still stop eating at a certain point.

We're oversupplied with material goods to the point that storage lockers for excess stuff is a big industry, but most of us don't hoard to that degree, and it's weird when we see people who do.

We're oversupplied with light to the point that we've got to remind ourselves to turn them down at night, but we do turn them off.

We do reach saturation points with these things, despite over-consumption.

Sure. And we're over-supplied with breathing air to the point that nobody bothers to store it in bottles for a low-air day. I don't think we can reach saturation supply of everything we might possibly want because we're naturally competitive, explorative and status-seeking and will just invent new things to want, even if they're zero sum. Those things will probably be able to be bought with money.
