>Why would someone who owns all of the power and resources share with you?

Ideally governments will see to it. This also assumes that governments have a much larger army of robots than any private individual. Just like how governments makes it illegal to own firearms, it will be illegal to own certain class of robots with combat capability..

Thus governments (the people really/ideally) will see to it that everyone will be comfortable with minimum amount of work utilizing the robots.

One can dream!

With the way things are now, the corporations own the government. The 'government' is not some sort of impartial mediator that people have been lead to believe it is
The government at least has to maintain the appearance.
No it doesn't. Propagandize the population sufficiently and they won't accept the reality in front of them.
It needs votes. It is better than dealing directly with the corporations, which don't need votes.
The “government” is a collection of dementia patients and pedophiles.
