this is the same notion that makes people cry foul when any other job gets replaced by a machine... for some reason many people think they have a god given right to sit on an assembly line and get paid $20/hour plus benefits all of their lives. They either don't understand or don't care that other working americans are effectively subsidizing their own labor wages through artificially high consumer prices.
