While not an incorrect statement, trillions of dollars have been paid to software developers to build software that invariably reduced labor costs.

You're absolutely correct on that. The technology industry, at least the segment driven by VC (which is a huge portion of it), is funded based on ideas that the capital-owning class thinks is a good idea. Reducing labor costs is always an easy sell when you're trying to raise a round.
