Technology is more than enough mature, look into the production of PS5, it's nearly all automated.
We can build such a marvelous, technologically complicated device fully automated, but we can't have machines do farming and agriculture right?
We have self-driving cars now, nearly about to unleash flying cars, yet we can't automate the most basic and mundane stuff? Unlikely.
Many things that we as human beings are doing are pointless and stupid. With enough investment we can have drones do forestation (as well as afforestation), instead, ironically, we have evolvivg killing drones, the latter being an order of magnitude perhaps more complicated than the former.
The problem here mostly lies in incentives.
