I completely agree. its really a no brainer to balance people's work/life balance by reducing the hours people work, incentivising part time working etc... all of which would need regulation and intervention in the labour market, which is deemed anti-capitalist, left wing madness at the moment. It is the global oligopolies and monopolies (that worry @Oliver Schick) that call the shots rather than elected government.
(I also worry like olver about the lack of activity these technologies herald and the innate laziness of our species damning us all to hell...)

For as long as humans have been able to fashion tools, the advance of technology has always meant that people have lost jobs through redundancy. As ever, people like yourself are decrying the loss of jobs.
Isn't it time that we do the intelligent thing and learn the lesson that has been taught to us repeatedly for millenia and apply ourselves to how we might reshape the workforce before people lose their jobs? Or are we still too attached to the tired old sackcloth and ashes routine and need to wait for the bad thing to happen first?
