Greed.
EDIT: And I'll go on and further explain so I don't have to waste time giving you baby steps to understand what's really going on.
We're living in a corporate dystopia, you seem like the kind of person still too dense or stupid to get that.
Let me break this down for you some more: you were probably the kind of Lolbertarian who thought that getting rid of net-neutrality meant we would have more competition, which absolutely did not happen. Prices have gone up, competition is nowhere in sight, and the same duopolies/monopolies even rolled out new service agreements saying they could hike up prices or cancel your service whenever and however they please and if you don't like... too bad for you.
You're probably also the kind of simpleton who thought companies like Gab building their own [insert service here] would allow people an alternative to all the Left-wing owned/Big Tech social media service, when in reality all it did was push Gab and companies like Gab close enough to the edge of the open internet that they may as well be on the dark net.
That's not to mention that any company unwilling to kowtow to the Left have their payments cut off by the processors, donations upended by PayPal and their infrastructure shut down by AWS or Google.
So no, just because you cut the population in half doesn't mean things will be easier for the average Joe and Jane. The corporatocracy will ensure that doesn't happen.
Just like ending net neutrality did not bring more competition; creating alternative social media services did not disrupt the Big Tech oligarchs; and even with a slight decline in population over the years in San Francisco (e.g., https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/23130/san-francisco/population) housing costs continue to skyrocket astronomically (e.g., https://www.noradarealestate.com/blog/san-francisco-real-estate-market/) as the class divide widens.
This will never change, even when they enact their population control mechanisms to drastically reduce the amount of meat bags walking the green Earth. People who don't have now will continue to not have in the future, and people who already have more than enough now will have even more in the future.
As I said, if you think that once they merc half the population the housing costs will come down, I have a bridge to sell you.
Greed.
