I mean, people seem to assume here when discussing an “ideal future” some kind of post-scarcity utopia in which there’s enough to satisfy anyone’s wildest needs ten times over.

You can have enough abundance to provide everyone with food, clothes and a house, or even more, but at some point you’ll probably have to stop. Currency might be replaced by some analogue system, but yes, at the end, you need some way to partition limited resources, and unlimited resources just aren’t physical.
