IIRC, lots of simulations show that free-riding usually caps at something really really low (~10%) to be effective. Too many free riders and the group you are free-riding off of is hurt. Ie there is an optimal, and very low, amount of parasites.

Most of the free riding is off sunk costs paid by dead people

The beneficiary of an inheritance isn't free riding.

Not if you think of it as “inheritance”, no
