Yes. This is much closer to how many people are experiencing it and why the OP's suggestion of letting people practice it as an unpaid hobby doesn't address their issue.

It feels like spending your teens practicing football, playing varsity level in high school, getting really good at the college level, finally recruited into the NFL as a pro football player (dream came true!!) and suddenly, the team owner says, "No more football playing for you. You get the same salary but you're managing robots who play the football. Deal with it."
Considering how punishing a football career is, that sounds like a good deal.
Look at Andrew Luck.
Swap it out for chess. Tell Magnus Carlsen he can't play chess anymore. Instead he gets paid to run a Stockfish team in an all-engine tournament.
OK, replace football with any other sport then.
I hadn't thought of that type of comparison, but it's apt.
