Because big brother can’t trust people with their own choices. Very progressive. Government is our savior! Nothing could go wrong.
Perhaps think about it like a nervous system, or from a cybernetics perspective. Decision making needs to represent available information and actual incentives (this is sometimes hard to see because people are confused by moralistic stories).

How could an artificial system represent all necessary information that individuals use to make choices? Especially when such data may not be representable or translatable in language. Also, if moralistic stories are just confusion then why do we care about UBI or UBfood?

The reason that we are interested in UBI style models is that in a highly automated society, participation in the labor market is possibly no longer the primary mode of allocating resources to individual households, and a new model has to be developed.
