"End of human-based value creation" is tantamount to post-scarcity. It "breaks" capitalism because it supposedly obviates the resource allocation problem that the free-market economy is the answer to. It's what Karl Marx actually pointed to as his utopian "fully realized communism". Most people would think of that as a pipe dream, but if you actually think it's viable, why wouldn't you want it?

These people don't mean for you to live in post-scarcity. If they did, they'd just alleviate at least some of the scarcity we have now.

At least in the US, they're pretty big on not doing that. Like explicitly.
