Because this is what capital has told us. Capital always wants to reduce the labour cost to $0.

If labor cost is close to $0, even more businesses that weren’t viable before would become viable.

Zero labor cost should see the number of engineers trend towards infinity. The earlier comment suggested the opposite — that it would fall to just 1000 engineers. That would indicate that the cost of labor has skyrocketed.

That doesn't make sense. Demand isn't entirely dictated by cost. There is only so much productivity the world is equipped to consume.
