Richer than what? You can't ask me if they're better off without giving me something to compare against.

The point I'm making is just because something is more accessible does not connotate being richer. Just because manufacturing costs come down does not make everyone suddenly richer because of it. Lower manufacturing costs means things are more accessible. Accessibility does not connotate being richer.
Do you think just because Henry Ford figured out the assembly line, making it easier to produce cars quicker suddenly made everyone in early 20th century America richer all the sudden because the price on Ford autos fell because manufacturing them was cheaper?
This is the point of my contention. Accessibility =/= richer society.

Heisenberg said Everything is Uncertain.
Therefore, everything is relatively uncertain.
