But why on earth? Rejoice, rather.

Indeed. Less people means lower overshoot, less future excess deaths.

  And jobs will be taken over by robots anyway at some point in the future. So, why have so many future humans who will be jobless then?

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
