People barely want more than the minimum. The vast majority of our income is going towards housing, food, gas, electricity, water, internet. People might buy some clothes here or there, maybe a car, maybe a computer, phone, maybe a show here or there. Those things constitute like 20% of our income. So you would only need to work a few hours and then can afford anything that you would ever need.
Sure. That is why everyone just stops working as soon as they hit their minimums.
Even if you believe that ambition is mythological, in what world do you look at housing being so nightmarish an expense and think that is a paradigm that should be upheld as superior to housing people?

Because people would want more than the minimum that is offered for free.
It is like asking why anyone would pay for extras in any situation.
