Because we’d rather be living in a world where textiles are so cheap to produce that everyone can afford to clothe themselves however they want and even the working poor can furnish their homes with upholstered furniture and own more than one towel, blanket, sheets, pillows, and have rugs, mats, carpets, etc. not to even mention all the other woven stuff that isn’t even possible to do by hand along with all the other technologies birthed from the very smart idea of automating a tool that was previously only operated by hand. I don’t know about you but I certainly don’t want to go to my grave bent over this loom.
