If you have a magic robot that builds everything you want you don’t need anyone to buy anything.

Then all you have to do is magically convince the owners of the magic robot to give all their products away for free.
They already have way more than they could ever use and still try to take more.
Where do the raw materials for the thing it's building (or the robot itself for that matter) come from?
From the earth. Maybe in the future space.
Finite natural resources are by their very nature, limited.
Yes finite things are finite. Glad we cleared up it.
Finite means not free. Who will pay?
If your magic robot is magic enough you own anything you want. You pay with the oldest currency in the world. Might.
