The historical behavior of capitalists makes this highly unlikely. They will give nothing up without pressure.

History tells you that values change over time as scarcity decreases (technology also changes values regardless of scarcity). Human values are becoming more altruistic over time. Companies were more selfish 100 years ago than they are now because people were more selfish (due to scarcity).
Tech companies have some of the least selfish people working there compared to other industries. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that they are selfless (any complex system eventually develops defense mechanisms in order to survive i.e selfishness). I agree that change requires pressure. I am just pointing out that the pressure ALREADY exists.

Are you kidding. America is a failed state. We cannot provide healthcare for our people, we cannot provide clean water for our people, our government does not serve the people, crime is rampant, children are bringing weapons to school and murdering other children, people cannot afford food or heat 70% of people are effectively broke.
This is all a result of greedy oligarchs who do not want to pay their taxes or pay a living wage. They are not better people than 100 years ago they just have better public relations.
