A tax on convenience (either financial or behavioral) isn't the same thing as an alternative to convenience. I think the answer is "automate materiality to regain control over temporality." The thing people hate about convenience-culture is that it accelerates life.
It might yes, but it's not as much of an opportunity/temptation rich environment.

In the sense that I can purchase many goods simultaneously whereas I can only experience one thing at a time, maybe, but there's still the same sort of economic pressure, so I don't see how good purchase automation necessarily decouples economic growth from daily living.

Anecdotally it does happen when you manage to delegate most routine spending to another human, so in principle automatable.
