There is a but of truth in that. But FTL travel may reduce costs due to formerly inefficient due to distance sources becoming plausible. Even if it is not available to the average Joe. A lot of advances in tech reduced the distance of objects e.g. ships and carts.
Yes… and what good it did everyone to reduce the distance of objects… Sometimes distance is good. Gives me time to think about why I’m really going there in the first place.
