If the companies making those agents are paying top dollar for training data then the product isn't going to be truly free, at best it will be "free" with caveats. Do you want to use an AI agent which is fine-tuned according to the wishes of the top bidding advertisers? Because that's probably the first thing they'll try to make "free" chatbots actually turn a profit.

The future is having your own personal AI assistant, completely free of charge, which is suspiciously eager to recommend shopping at Temu and eating at McDonalds.

As Yuval Harari suggests the AI economy will move away from money and man power. What will be important are control over resources and their distribution. These big companies won't care about a number in some database. They won't care about selling stuff to you, maybe in the midterm but not in the long run.

that sounds good until you realize that money is just an abstraction of resources.

Because the economy functions better when decoupled and provides autonomy in current paradigm. Consider a future when those in power, rich don't depend on majority for food, transportation and security or services then they don't have the need to convince you to work for them.
