Good points. Maybe a more general version, removing constraints on one resource is usually not hugely impactful because you simply hit the next constraint.

Concrete example, "coding is free" (TBC, but let's assume), and now we're code review constrained. Even if code review becomes free we probably just become product discovery constrained, or something else. Making all software free will just cause us to hit on hardware constraints, and so on. It's still progress, and more progress will bring more benefits, but there's a limit to how much better the world as a whole can get from any one change like this.
