The biggest hurdle to move away from tipping is that the people that get screwed by the tipping culture are the first one to want to stay in it.

They are also the first ones to moralize people about how tipping is a must and if you don't tip, that poor waiter will be unable to make a living.

NO! The ones that get away easy in this whole scheme are the owners that have now no responsibility to pay their employees correctly.
