That seems 'make-work' bias in action. We don't need jobs, just a means of support. If the amount of wealth increases so that no one practically had to work (in any traditional sense*), then it's a matter of making sure everyone has support rather than everyone spends time everyday producing stuff or services much better provided by tech.
