> I think you’re putting too much weight on cost (time, money), and not enough weight on “quality of life”, in your analysis.

"Quality of life" is a hugely privileged topic to be zooming in on. For the vast majority of people both inside and outside the US, Time and Money are by far the most important factors in their lives.

Setting aside time, is money not downstream from quality of life? Meaning, in a better world one might not need to care as much about money? I believe that time and quality of life are congruent - good quality of life means control over one’s own time.

Costs (time/money) are metrics to help analyse your situation/progress. They are not quality of life.

If you had a huge pile of money but still lived in a shack in a slum, you’d still have a terrible quality of life.

If you argument were true, and people are saving time (or money) due to these new systems, why is the wealth gap widening?
