Infinities aren't a physical reality. Resource are always limited, physics is limited at the Planck scale. You can only do so much compute in a finite volume of space, and there will only be so much energy available. As for simple needs, humans also have complex ones around social interactions and the need for mental stimulation. |

They are more characterized by how they grow and when they stop than by their "physical reality". Proof of this is in that different infinities exist - characterized precisely by how fast they grow, i.e., one "infinity" is "larger" than the other.
My point is, getting hung up on "infinity" as being unrealistic is not the point. It is the tool with which to understand how thing behave. The same as any calculus problem - you take the limit to the infinity to understand how the function behaves.
