It would be cool to remove the need for everyone to work jobs they hate just to survive though.
Sure but the system would only work if the rich agreed to pay for our expenses via taxes. Don't expect it anytime soon.
Why do they have a choice?

The frustrating part is that a significant amount of that might already be largely technologically and economically possible at this point, but not as long as some people are hoarding 99% of the world's wealth, and brutally exploiting at least the poorest 80% of the world's population in their endless quest for more.
