I got that idea from being a decent human being that understands that workers will work more efficiently if they're not struggling in their personal lives; a struggle which can happen as a result of the market undervaluing humans with respect to the cost of living, and the workers lacking the bargaining power to demand what they need / deserve.

Struggles can be pretty motivating, unfortunately.

Only if they lead to progress. Treading water is demotivating.

For the 0.x% of people that breakout and exceed their demographics statistical expectations by orders of magnitude? Yeah, sure, that's true. What about for the rest of the population that doesn't? They're burnt out, disabled, addicted, ill, obese, unhappy, indebted, deluded, ignorant, and servile.
