This is more about the way society views work. Entrepreneurs and Executives don’t “create jobs” instead they create systems which requires jobs to run the systems.
For example, the retail side of Amazon is an order fulfillment and distribution system. Jeff Bezos would be perfectly happy to have fully automated warehouses requiring no manual intervention.
On one side, these companies can bring tremendous economic growth. But can be ruthless towards the individual worker. However, it’s our society. We should have the governance in place to ensure there is a safety net for the individual.
