If you can replicate material at will, you can spend all your time perfecting robotics to perform service work. Said robotics can than be replicated en masse across the world with previous "replicators".



I don't think you grasp the entirety of the service sector. Creative services (programming, consulting, design, etc.) can't yet be readily replaced be robotics or machines. Creating beings that can themselves create is a significant undertaking.
