It's a fallacy to pretend you can disentangle micro and macro. It's one system that fundamentally requires a precarious underclass doing inordinate amounts of manual labor. You're right that a small subset of people can accomplish FIRE but normally by working a high-paying job that enables even greater levels of exploitation. FIRE only works by a few people hacking the system and society would collapse if everyone simultaneously switched to attempting FIRE. The problem with luxury tech (like space travel) is that billionaires are hiring people who need to be supported by nannies, janitors, cooks, nurses etc who are paid barely subsistence wages. Meanwhile the benefit of luxury tech is directed toward the wealthy at the expense of the working poor.
