WRONG! Humans were supposed to be threshing wheat and hauling logs!
We've spent the vast majority of our existence as a species living in small pre-agricultural bands in which it was virtually impossible to accumulate real personal property or wealth. Consequently, a person's status was determined not by how much they owned, but rather by their merit and relationships with others.
Wheat is a relatively recent development in human history, as is agriculture in general. It changed everything but for better or worse, agriculture is a trap, and once you start transitioning to it, you can never go back.

Fair play.
Most people would unironically take that over the fresh hell post industrial capitalism has become.
