> Owning is wasteful unless you have close to 100% utilisation

Klaus Schwab "You will own nothing and be happy" dystopia. No thanks.

I might sound like communist, but i would like to figure out a way to a future (sustainable) where everyone owns everything and are happy. Not talking about equally to everyone, but at least not 99% owned by 1%.
Is there anything inherently wrong with 99% "owning" 1% nominally? Somehow 95/1 or 75/1 is systemically different or is it just extracting an emotional reaction to numbers folks have no accurate mental representation of in such context. If not, it does strike me as a slippery slope to communism.
